...words to express my ever-growing disappointment and disgust with Bush's disastrous presidency, except to be convinced that he is the worst President in my 72-year-long lifetime, if not in the entire history of our country. That's why I really appreciated Klein's "The Lamest Duck." It is a truly classic piece of writing, explaining graphically how so many of us feel. David B. Lantz, Fenton, Mich...
