among others...

Still, Beauprez praised Bush as a legendary leader. "In the time of great trials, great leaders emerge - Washington, Lincoln, Churchill and Bush."









I'm not very talented at captioning, but the look that Beauprez is giving gwb in the second pic is unsettling. MKJ

1. Lincoln is a great comparison.

4. Plus I'm sure Bush would as soon die as watch a play.

5. It's a reasonable comparison.
As in the sentence, "unlike Abraham Lincoln, GW Bush is a pampered, ignorant man-boy".

See? Perfect comparison.

8. Bush knows he's in trouble.
The Republicans know they're in trouble. Their power grab and abuse has now been noticed, and no amount of diversions will fix it this time.

Another terra attack? Won't work.

More lies? More fog? Won't work.

They know we're on to them. They know they've been had. And they know that we're about to come after them for what they've done. Looking bad is the least of their worries now.

10. Republicans never stop at making ridiculous comparisons between
...great figures in history and their own mediocre minions and sycophants:

At President Bush's Florida inaugural ball in 2001 she was even compared with Rosa Parks. As the Christian Science Monitor writer Peter Grier reported:

…When Dick Cheney dropped by, a phalanx of trumpeters announced his arrival as if he were a conquering emperor. When George W. Bush came by, he got "Hail to the Chief." But the night's real star got something much more. "India had Mother Teresa," boomed the announcer. "The South had Rosa Parks. And France had Joan of Arc."

Dramatic pause.

"But Florida," he bellowed, "has Katherine Harris." Florida's secretary of state, the woman who certified Bush's victory, entered to wild applause.

Now Katherine Harris is the republican party's nemesis, the bringer of destruction and ruin.

13. He'll never win
Beauprez will have plenty of time to spend with Bush at the Lincoln memorial when he gets his lobbyist job in Washington next year.
