The Force is With Me
The President's Last Goodbye
Slate crashes Bush's farewell party.
"The party, dubbed "Crossing the Finish Line" and held in the park's giant Spanish Ballroom, was organized by outgoing White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and his predecessor, Andy Card."
"He then introduced "two special guests," Laura and George W. Bush. Huge cheers as entrance music blasted. People waved giant cutouts of the letter W."
"So we're no longer sprinting to the finish—we're dancing to the finish," Bush said once the crowd calmed down.
"It has been an awesome eight years," he went on. "The days are long, but the years are short. … If you ever want a nice meal, come and knock on our door in Dallas, Texas." He waved goodbye over the opening chords of "Don't Stop Believin'."
"On the way out, I picked up a form to join the Bush-Cheney Alumni Association, which promises to "provide up-to-date news on the Bushes' and Cheneys' post-White House activities." Apparently it's only for "employees, appointees, and interns of President George W. Bush … as well as campaign donors and volunteers." Then again, so was the party."
