History of the World: Part II

Shorter David Brooks (picking up right where Mel left off):

Bush: "It's good to be the king."
Consider yourself lucky if you lack a subscription to NY Times Select. For a hint at everything you're missing, the column is entitled "Heroes and History" and it pits Bush's "theory of history" against Leo Tolstoy's. Seriously. As if Bush has theorized himself into a petulant asshole rather than just being born and raised that way.
