Dear President Bush:

Thank you for being a leader, and not a poll watcher. Thank you for remaining the epitome of class and gentility, even when your vilest, most petty and deranged detractors said (and continue to say) the most idiotic, asinine things about you. Most of all, thank you for keeping us safe. Though your critics will never, if fact, probably can never, admit it, you have done yeoman's work in advancing the cause of liberty around the world. God bless you.
