DALLAS (The Borowitz Report)Former President George W. Bush is eagerly counting down the days until he is no longer the worst President in U.S. history, Bush confirmed on Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters at his home, Bush said that he could hardly wait until Friday, when he will be officially bounced from the worst-President slot.
I have to admit, I never thought Id see this day in my lifetime, the former President said. When you leave office with the nation in smoldering ruins, you sort of come to accept that youre gonna be worst for a long, long time.
I guess you could say I set the bar kind of high, worst-wise, he chuckled.
As the returns came in on Election Night, however, the former President suddenly realized that his days as the worst President in U.S. history might be coming to an abrupt end.
Holy cow, Bush remembered saying to himself. Just holy cow.
While Bush recognizes that many Americans are dreading Fridays Inauguration, he said he hoped that they could sort of understand why he might see things differently.
To be honest, Friday cant come fast enough for me, he said. Im like a kid waiting for Christmas.

lose his standing as the worst president ever, even W's favorability ratings is going to get a reprieve.

Borowitz's satire has a ring of truth.
