George W. Bush compared to Winston Churchill!
http://www.dailylocal.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=12347923&BRD=1671&PAG=461&dept_id=17785&rfi=6

Apparently, John Kerry and Michael Moore have no knowledge of history. You know what to do. :)

1. Laughable!
Gerald K. McOscar is not a historian - he's a right-wing shill lawyer. He obviously has delusions of grandeur!

3. My comment:
"The world will always need leaders possessed of the ability to live in the world’s chaos without capitulating to it -- Winston Churchill and Reinhold Neibuhr then and Ronald W. Reagan and George W. Bush now.

Bwaaa-haaaa-haaaa-hee-hee...I'm sorry...I just...I can't....sorry...can't type now...laughing too hard. Churchill and Bush*? It's just so...too...oh, I can't.
This is a parody website, right?
Maybe later.

4. Well, Churchill did drink a quart of brandy a day
His brain is no longer functioning, either. So he has more in common with Bush than you think.

5. Actually, Cheney LOOKS a little more like Churchill.....
With the lack of hair and all, but the resemblance stops there.

W can't even form a coherent thought!

This guy must have the same housekeeper as Rush.

6. Well, they were both in favor of killing Iraqis for no good reason. . .
After all Churchill was one of the first to advocate and approve the use of poison gas on the Kurds, stating "I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes."

8. Well churchill did say
"Americans will always do the right thing...but only after they try everything else first." Well we tried Bush* and found him wanting. Now we must do the right thing and send his ass back to Texas

Close, but no cigar, so to speak.

11. Yes, I've heard Repubs try the Churchill and Truman / Bush comparisons
before. It doesn't wash, in my book. They're not even c-l-o-s-e. Truman, Mr. Everyman, a Democrat.....as far from Bush as you can get. Churchill, a man who bravely spoke the truth even when it hurt him and took responsibility for errors - doesn't sound like * to me.

12. Churchill had the sense not to attack Canada
when Germany invaded Poland, unlike Bush who attacked Iraq instead of Saudi Arabia.

Churchill wasn't lying when he said Germany invaded France unlike Bush who said Saddam could unleash a nuclear/biological attack on the US with 45 minutes notice.

Churchill wasn't exagerating when he said Germany was bombing London, unlike Bush who claimed Saddam was about to attack Europe and Israel.

Churcill didn't ignore Germany's assault on the Soviet Union, unlike Bush who ignored Pakistan's selling of nuclear technology to Korea.

The only similarity I hope to see between Bush and Churchill is that Churchill was defeated in post War elections, and hopefully the resident moron will be sent back to Texas. England sure as hell wouldn't want him.

13. Churchill promised blood, sweat and tears.
You already got blood and tears... But not for the same reasons.
