Denial is the First Step

First he denied that global warming is happening, then he denied that 49% of the US people exist, then he denied that the missle defense system doesn't work, then evolution, then he denied that abstinence-only education actually makes teen-pregnancy rates go up, then he denied that his social-security plan is going to cost trillions of dollars. This probably isn't in cronological order, but you get my point, right?

And now it seems like he denying that Clinton was the President for eight years. Clinton's portrait in the White House was "taken down to make room for Christmas decorations." Maybe they can just re-write history, and pretend that those war-free eight years of a stellar economy never existed.

Now, according to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, there are five steps in the grieving process: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. If Bush is in Denial right now, I wonder what the Anger stage is going to be like?
