Five Proud Years of Mission Accomplishedness and Counting
Happy Mission Accomplished Day, everybody!
Yep, it's hard to believe that it was five whole years ago today that President George W. Bush, dressed up in a fighter pilot costume, climbed out of a jet onto the deck of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln and victoriously announced to the country that we had successfully accomplished a mission that needed accomplishing.
And then everybody said "Yay!" and clapped their hands. And we all lived peacefully ever after ever since.
Update: Daily Kos has beautiful retrospective of all the lovely words with which our journalistic community showered the president on the very first Mission Accomplished Day.

I want to live in this man’s reality. Seems like it’d be pretty mellow and uncomplicated in there. Dubbya probably has soothing elevator music playing continuously in his head and I am sure there are ponies, like everywhere… Ahh, to be a really band president….
Well, I'm celebrating by hanging Dubya in effigy! A strawman if ever there was one..
Do ya think this should be declared an illegal holiday? We can celebrate in mass & hold parades. Instead of the marching bands, we will have to hold up over 4000 flags for our brave soldiers that have died & carry a coffin draped in a flag to represent the death of our economy due to this fiasco. Of course nobody will ride in cars during these parades…can't afford the gas!
