Poetic license revoked
In Pakistan, poetry came
Done up in the guise of a game.
Initials combine,
One each to a line,
To reveal our real leader by name.
Veiled ode to George Bush deleted from Pakistani textbooks

Oh God...that's awful. But...so right-wing. Why is it the right prefers cheesy poetry? I'm surprised I didn't get this a forwarded email from some conservative friends of mine.
Hence, my caustic acrostic.
It is because of those last five letters that I'm linking to your post in my pro-Liberal blog.
And THAT is because, tragically, it's a perfect description of his legacy so far. :( I would've expected better out of a Bush, but I guess we'll never see it. :(
