George W. Bush: 'Eight Years Was Awesome, And I Was Famous And I Was Powerful'

[DanTex]

It's been a while since the last W blooper...

George W. Bush finds life as a former president just fine and dandy.

"Eight years was awesome, and I was famous and I was powerful. But I have no desire for fame and power anymore," he said in a new interview with the Hoover Institute's Peter Robinson.

PS It's an hour long video, and I'm not going to watch the whole thing. But if anyone can find where in the video he says that, I'd like to see it.

3. "I was famous and I was powerful"

So were some of history's worst dictators whose names I won't mention. But as long as the Chimp is happy with himself, what else matters?

7. Once again I feel vindicated in using the term "half-assed neoconservative joyride"...

...for the Iraq invasion and occupation. If character were reflected by anatomy, this man would be famous for having only one buttock.

"Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay" again. I want to see if that really was dubya. Sure sounds like it

9. "...and I was famous and powerful and beautiful and people liked me and smart and a decider..."

11. He surrounded himself with yes men and lackies who succumbed to his every evil deed.

And no matter how awful these policies were no one ever stood up to him and said "Hey!!! This is a bad idea!!!!". So to that I say -
