Everyone gets a boost after they leave office. Except Truman and Nixon?
Bush I deserves some good vibes. And Carter deserves even more, especially considering everything he's done since. And Bush II should be spending the rest of his life terrified that a mob with with torches and pitchforks is going to surge into his living room and start shoving pineapples up his ass sideways at any moment.
But you're right. People be retards.
