Stanley Fish Believes We Should Be Nostalgic
Do You Miss Him Yet?
What I told you back on Sept. 28, 2008, was that within a year of the day he left office George W. Bush would come to be regarded with affection and a little nostalgia. The responses (over 300 before the comments were closed) to that prediction were overwhelmingly negative; even the very few who agreed with me attributed what they took to be a sad fact to the stupidity of the American people. The other 290 or so said things like “No way”; “Are you kidding?”; ”Are you mad?”;“What a ridiculous and insulting premise!”; “I’ll miss him like a rash”; “This must be a satire”; “Bush is a sociopath”; “George Bush has destroyed this country”; “History won’t forgive him”; and (a popular favorite) “I hate the man.”

Nostalgic for the shrub? Not so much. Appreciate the fact that he was less bad of a president than the guy doing it now? Absolutely.
I wonder what would happen if we suddenly had Herbert Hoover or Calvin Coolidge back in office.

Miss Junior? Hell no.
Will I miss the current buffoon when he's gone? Same answer.
