"Apres moi, le deluge"

[realFedUp]

"After me, the flood"
I kept this phrase on a little slip of paper
when W was running for President in 2000.
How true it came to be.

Adios George. Thank God you weren't king
but were termed out in eight years; enough time
for your weapons of mass destruction.

This phrase was attributed to
French king Louis XV who is described at Wikipedia-
"Unexpectedly surviving the death of most of the royal
family, he enjoyed a favourable reputation at the beginning
of his reign and earned the epithet "le Bien-Aimé" (
"the Beloved"). However, in time, his lack of morals,
general inability to effectively reform France and
the Monarchy, and the perceived failings of his
foreign policy lost him the affection of his people,
and he ended his life amongst the most unpopular kings of France."
