Media On bereavement leave this week, mourning the exit of George W. Bush
by Ward Harkavy
The Bush Error is finally ending, and many of you may see this as the end of a national nightmare.
For reporters, it’s the end of a dream presidency.
Apparently, George W. Bush has decided to heed the Constitution, for a change, and leave office after two terms.
In doing so, he’s pointedly ignoring my plea in this week’s Voice print edition: “Don’t Leave, George W.! We Need You to Bail Out the Press.”
That’s why I’m bailing out for a few days.
Call it bereavement leave.
See you next week.
