We're nearly a month away from the transition of power. President Bush has been sitting down for exit interviews, etc. Gallons of ink will be written about the administration in the final month as well.
Late night comedians are also going to have to get more creative since they won't have President Bush and his verbal gaffes to kick around anymore. MSNBC produced a video with some of the more memorable ones (The video also shows Bush poking fun at himself):

The feature examines statements made by Minnesota politicians and checks them for accuracy. Based on data analysis, document reviews and interviews with non-partisan analysts, statements are rated either true, false or inconclusive. PoliGraph is a collaboration between Minnesota Public Radio News and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
