Laughter and Forgetting Redux.

First it was Althouse, now Hugh Hewitt:

2009 is the worst year for a president since 1978[.]

Ahem. Maybe a review of George W. Bush's first year is in order:

• In the wake of a collision with an American sub and a Japanese fishing ship during which nine are killed, President Bush appeased embarrasses America apologizes to the Japanese.
• An EP-3 collided with a Chinese plane over PRC airspace. 24 crewmembers were detained and interrogated until the U.S. appeased apologized to the Chinese.
• On September 11, 2001 much unpleasantness occurs, conservatives salivate.
  
• U.S. invades Afghanistan, does not catch Osama bin Laden. However, lots of people die, so it's a wash, right?
  

In short: eat a dick up til you hiccup, Hugh.
