Episode synopsis
The reverberations begin. We start to see the cementing of George W. Bush as both a goofball and a sincere painter… who actually did a pretty good job in the White House, a claim that will be verified by objective historians once they arrive on the scene. Meanwhile, the Taliban gets rebooted and ISIS enters into the picture. Drone warfare is wildly expanded, and we witness the fall of one Kanye West. As the great leader enters the pop culture arena on his own terms, he gives one final flub to rule them all. The series comes to an end where everything goes to die: on Ellen.
About Miss Me Yet
Miss Me Yet takes a look back at the George W. Bush years and the destruction he left in his wake. The series was born out of the shared sweets with former first ladies, vacuous portraits of damaged war veterans, verbal tomfoolery on daytime talkshow sets, and the untold suffering of people who happen to have been born in the wrong place and the wrong time. There’s the way he both uses power, and does not use his power. There’s the way he feeds culture, and the way culture feeds him. Importantly: what did that do to all of us?
