I want an Academy Award. By Tuesday.

Thursday, June 19, 2008 around 2 pm mountain time

A well-written Op-Ed piece in the Times today on one of today’s most notorious gangsters, President Bush.

“They will need to explain why $4-a-gallon gasoline is not enough incentive for them to act,� the president said. It was sort of mesmerizing. Imagine some half-forgotten celebrity popping up out of nowhere and announcing that he wants an Academy Award. By Tuesday. And if he doesn’t get it, he cannot be responsible for the consequences.

By Gail Collins.
