In our millions we should watch and listen to his every word on TV and radio. We should be watching, rapt, as he hands over office to Barack Obama and takes that long trip back to the ranch.
At every stage along his journey home to Crawford, we should turn out in person to witness his passage, waving and joyful as he goes by.
His tenure has given us many things to forget but can't: war, economic crisis, world derision, diminished personal freedom. Bush's special touch has given these problems extra heft and power, and left us with a tough minefield of a road back to sanity.
But George's time in office has also given us some things worth remembering: comedy (legions have earned a living off his foibles), humility (it's been hard to be proud), and a renewed public consciousness (formed in opposition to his policies).
And there is one thing for which we should all be eternally thankful: Dubya's Days have lead directly to the historic election of Barack Obama.
Whether Mr. Obama fulfills his promise as President or not, his election is the main reason we should turn out to cheer Dubya home, with thanks from a grateful nation...
