And just think, tomorrow he’s got a really busy day:

I’m still surprised that George W didn’t manage to trip on the Whitehouse steps as he left, but then he’d already made a big enough ass of himself in the last eight years so tripping on the steps as he left the office wouldn’t have topped it all anyway!
He’ll get to work and be told: "Oh! We weren’t expecting you this early. Your desk isn’t ready yet - get yourself a coffee and sit here for half an hour while we sort something out.
Then they’ll scrabble around with broken keyboards and chairs in the Oval Office while he sits on a chair with two broken wheels, in front of a desk piled high with dusty collapsible box files.
I’ll bet he’ll get sent to IT to get his laptop and network access sorted, only to be told that they didn’t know he’s coming, because “nobody submitted the New Starter request”. “We’ll have to order you a laptop, which will take about a week to 10 days.”
