Today Bush awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to … Norman Mineta.

LA replies:

I can’t believe it. What’s he going to do next—award the Medal of Freedom to his secretary?

Between Clinton’s using the presidential office to get bj’s from a 21-year-old airhead intern, and Bush’s using it to award the nation’s highest civilian honor to his friends and retainers, Clinton’s perversion of the office seems somehow … cleaner.
