The ideal Golfing twosome, Dubya and O.J.

James Moore in Huffington

There is probably not much chance that Mr. Bush and O.J. Simpson will ever get to play golf together, although there would be much convenience and symmetry to the round. O.J. could continue his quest to find the real killer of his wife and her lover and the former president could look in the rough for weapons of mass destruction. Instead, however, Mr. Bush will spend the last part of his life wielding a chainsaw cutting down cedar trees in one of the box canyons of his ranch along the hardscrabble Balcones Escarpment. He will, of course, still be oblivious to all the wrongs he has done to his country and the global community. Forever, this man's heart and soul will be separated from the harm he has caused and the lives he has ruined and he will continue to sleep the sleep of a child.

As he fades, though, even George W. Bush is likely to ask himself the glaring question of how he went from being the most influential man on planet Earth to a cedar chopper with a nice house, no friends, and a few government paid guards watching over him in boredom. The answer, of course, should he ever get around to asking, will be "democracy." In spite of all he did to destroy our constitution simply to serve his political ends, our democracy will survive and move past Mr. Bush.

And he will finally arrive at the ignominy he has so rightly earned.
