Kleig Lights Mentioned In Bush Swan Song
WASHINGTON, DC., Jan. 12 (TOTI) –
“You won’t have George W. Bush to kick around anymore,” you can almost imagine the beleaguered outgoing President saying during his final meeting with the press. But George Bush didn’t utter words that were quite that dramtic. Instead he seemed ready to move on, leaving his job to Barack Obama, and expecting history to be kinder to his legacy than present critics have even been.
When the subject of Obama came up, Bush waxed eloquent about his successor.
“He’ll make the decisions he thinks (are) necessary,” Bush said. When I get out of here, I’m getting off the stage. I believe there ought to be on person in the Klieg lights at a time and I’ve had my time in the Klieg lights.”
Naturally not everyone out there in Internet land know what “the Klieg Lights are, so I’ll try to help.
Klieg lights were a type of lamp used in filmmaking that were known for the very blight light they gave off. Actors who were to the light too often blinked, which pundits called getting the “Kleig eye.”
Put simply, Bush was saying he was ready to get out of the public eye.
