    I, for one, welcome anyone else that might replace him.

  2. Fox news coverage was great by Raul654 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I happened to catch Fox News about 5 minutes before Bush's announcement began. They showed one of teh Fox News corrospondents standing outside the White House, talking about the impending announcement. If you listened really carefully, you could hear people in the background chanting "Na-na-nahh-na, na-na-nahh-na, hey, hey, hey...goodbye"

    Regardless, I think I speak for (the majority of) America when I say, "Peace Out".
