it's the George W. Bush Backhanded Compliment Invitational Tournament!

[Lisa]

After getting that low score in the "sexiness" ratings, poor ol' George W. must be feeling kind of upset. Not good for the rest of us, because a) he might decide to declare war on the countries responsible for his lowest ratings, or b) he might be so bummed out that he decides he might as well bring on Judgement Day by pressing the button (and taking the whole planet with him).

So, in honor of his major (perhaps only) talent -- here are two ways to pay tribute to Dubya.

Category 1 -- say something nice about George W. which, on closer inspection, could be viewed in a bunch of different ways.

Example:
"President Bush's charm is of a similar magnitude to his powers of thought."


Category 2 -- give us an example of this sort of thing from Dubya's own extensive body of work.

Example:
"And I appreciate so very much the honorary degree you're conferring upon me today. I'm delighted that George Steinbrenner is receiving one as well. I guess we're both being honored as legends of baseball -- legends, at least, in our own minds."
