We have this fantasy we'd like to share. Not the one involving Uma Thurman and a tub of butterscotch pudding. A different one.
We have this fantasy that former President and country-wrecker George W. Bush will step back into the spotlight he so thankfully left a couple of years ago and actually do something useful for this nation. In moments of despair, after reading the daily dispatches about the "Ground Zero" Mosque, we imagine Bush coming forward and reiterating his message from the days after 9/11: that Islam is a peaceful religion; that Muslims are not the enemy; that Americans must embrace the principles of religious tolerance that are the foundation of our culture. Because, frankly, Bush is about the ONLY major public figure with a chance of getting through to the Beck-Limbaugh-Palin Morlock Brigade and stop them from dragging this country even further down its dark rabbit hole.
That is our fantasy, but we're not holding our breath. We think we'll go mix up a batch of butterscotch pudding instead.
