so i’m watching the inauguration for our new president on cnn, and at the bottom of the screen is the abbreviated schedule of events. it’s during the parade part so the schedule looks something like this:
“now – pres. obama watches parade
next – former pres. bush lands in texas
later – inaugural balls”
and my mind keeps picturing this little scene for the old president. mr. bush with head leaning out the passenger car window all googly eyed and smiling with his tongue hanging out, and the car coming to a stop on some country road. cheney opens the door for him and he hops out all excited and saying, “wow look at that! where are we? ooo, i wanna know what that smells like! hey where you going?” and then cheney just says “run boy! you’re free now!” and bush scampers off into the woods.
childish, i know, but i can’t help but have that scene play like a little movie in my mind
