By SnifflesIt's occurred to us cats that yesterday's horrific earthquake in Haiti just might offer an opportunity for redemption to the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived.
Here's a guy who's probably one of the most unpopular people on the planet, right? Who's responsible for death and misery and mayhem — whose departure from office was celebrated by hundreds of millions — and who seems, perhaps, to sense how badly he's strayed, if only through his nearly complete silence since January 20, 2009.
So we cats have a proposition for George W. Bush. If he has a smidgen of regret for his abortion of a Presidency, or even the slightest desire to rehabilitate himself, he could easily do it: Raise a ton of money for the suffering Haitian people.
It would take him no time at all to sit his sorry ass down and dial for dollars from that huge list of "library" donors he has. Heck, since his daddy teamed up with former President Clinton for tsunami relief five years ago, he could call 42 after he was done and say, "Hey, buddy, I've got a gazillion Republican dollars for Haiti. Where should I send it?"
Sigh. On a day that saw both Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson egregiously misbehave, somehow we cats don't see this Bush thing happening. But we think it's worth mentioning, and we're willing to be pleasantly surprised.
UPDATE, January 14: We've just heard that President Obama has asked the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived to join former President Clinton's efforts for disaster relief in Haiti. While we haven't seen an official, sourced reaction from 43 yet, our Cheshire cat grins are somewhat tempered by the fact that in lieu of the Worst Person stepping up of his own accord, Mr. Obama had to ask.
