Respect and Civility (or lack thereof)

Any hopes for respect and civility evaporate once the "Na-na-na-nah" song starts. It's is a sad state of affairs when some people can't let our outgoing president (regardless of approval ratings) leave office with dignity, free of adolescent jeers.

This came from MSN...

"Some in the crowd, weary of Bush's eight years in office, booed the president when the large viewing screens near the World War II Memorial flashed an image of the exiting president arriving at the swearing-in.

After the inauguration ceremony, some in the crowd waved at the aircraft in the sky. Others, however, cheered when they heard a television broadcaster announce, "George Bush is no longer president of the United States." Still others in the crowd, broke into chants of "Na-na-na-nah, hey, hey, hey, goodbye."

If I were George W. Bush and family, I would be counting the seconds until I could fade into the Texas sunset and enjoy my ranch.
