George W. Bush Is Selling A Book of His Art, Unfortunately
Latest

George W. Bush is selling an art book full of—there’s no way you’ll guess this—portraits of immigrants. This may sound like the set-up to a probably not-so-funny joke at a stand-up set, but in an even more disappointing twist, it’s actually real. That’s right, the man who is responsible for the Iraq war has decided that what we need from him as a nation isn’t an apology, it’s a bunch of paintings.
I would laugh if it wasn’t so disgusting to see a former President who should be tried for war crimes being treated as if he’s just a harmless old man. Although it’s true that Bush had a much more liberal stance on undocumented immigrants than most Republicans today, that fact does not remotely negate the fact that he started a war under false pretenses that led to the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraquis and Americans. As my colleague Ashley Reese so elegantly put it in a piece last year, former President George W. Bush is not your fucking grandpa.
