War Room

Na na na na, hey hey, goodbye

The crowd in D.C. breaks into an impromptu raspberry for the outgoing president.

Democracy in action or inappropriate boorishness?

When outgoing President George W. Bush's name was announced just before emerging from the Capitol building, the assembled masses broke into a cheer of "Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey goodbye!"

The MSNBC anchoring crew tut-tutted, but there was no disguising the delight on the faces of the singing crowd.

One might almost feel sorry for the soon-to-be ex-President, but, you reap what you sow, no?
