Albania's street names celebrate 'BOOOOOSHY!'

Imagine this: President Bush appears before a crowd of thousands. They cheer for him, covering him with waves of adulation and admiration.

He is greeted like a hero, or an "American Idol" winner on a homecoming tour of local malls. A crowd screams "BOOOOOSHY!" as women try to kiss him and men struggle to shake his hand or maybe just touch his head. Curiously, no one wants to punch him.

So, where is this scene taking place? In Bush's dreams?

No. In Albania.

Where they put his face on portrait stamps. Three of 'em.

People of Albania -- I think I speak for most Americans (the 70 percent or so who don't approve of Bush's leadership) when I ask: What the hell were you thinking? Seriously. Do you think this guy has done anything for the cause of democracy and freedom?

Because he had, like, nothing to do with pulling you out of the genocidal mire found yourself in during the '90s. Sure, he says what you want to hear about you joining NATO, etc., but don't get fooled. He's got that "Aw, gosh," cowboy thing down pat, but ultimately, he'll just do whatever Dick Cheney tells him to do.

Oh, you still like him? All right. In the interest of free trade, diplomacy and flourishing international relations -- or whatever -- you can have him.

You take Bush, and in exchange, you can give us, oh, never mind. We'll just call it good.
