Tommy Jefferson ..... horse's ass
Teddy R. .......... Bully Thomas, Bully
Washington ....... He has my old job?
Lincoln ..... And this is why brothers and sisters should not have children.

6. Reputable historians, those who have achieved esteem within their field as opposed to solely on
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 07:32 PM by WinkyDink
the NYT best-seller list, will judge him as we have been judging him, albeit with access to more details (or not, given Bush's early edict to restrict such access): Bush is the least competent, most murderous, most treasonous, most psychopathic, most criminal President of the United States ever.

Here are some future works:
"George W. Bush: The President as War Criminal"
"The Bush Presidency and the End of Checks and Balances"
"The Unconstitutional Reign of George W. Bush"
"George W. Bush and the Case of the Missing Impeachment"

7. As a reflection of American corruption, greed, lawlessness, torture and most of all, WEAKNESS.
We were far stronger when we acted with a sense of national conscience.

Bush will be remembered as the president who made us forget what it is to be America.

10. The heads in the background, should be replaced with
thousands of skulls.

The artist has painted Bush's mouth wrong.
He looks smarter in that photo than he appears in person.

12. Wiki Entry, 2025:
George Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946) was the forty-third and worst fucking President of the United States of America, originally inaugurated on January 20, 2001 after an obviously let's-rape-the-USA partisan Supreme Court intervened on a state-decided-election and usurped the rightful position of the Democratic Candidate Albert Gore. Bush was first selected in the 2000 presidential election, and, thanks to a little more theft and fraud . . . and a fuckton of American voters sharing the same brain, re-selected for a second term in the 2004 presidential election. I know . . . absolutely amazing and head-shakingly astonishing. He previously served as the forty-sixth Governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000, shitting that state all to hell in just about every category, and is the annointed son of the late former shitbag cyclops, United States President and ex-CIA spook George Herbert Walker Bush.

Following college, Bush worked in his family's oil businesses before making an unsuccessful run for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1978. He later co-owned the Texas Rangers baseball team before returning to politics in a campaign for Governor of Texas. He defeated Ann Richards through an assload of dirty trickery from Karl "Turd Blossom" Rove, playing strictly on the homophobia of the Republican voters, and was elected Governor of Texas in 1994. Bush won the presidency in 2000 as the Republican candidate in one of the most blatant thefts in American history, in which he lost the nationwide popular vote, but won the electoral vote. He mostly got away with it due to a complicit media, spineless Clinton-and-Democratic-hating public, fucked up court system and unprecedented corporate power and dollars.

As president, Bush burned the surplus by pushing through a $1.3 trillion tax cut program, mostly for the wealthy who didn't need it and the No Child Left Behind Act, also proven to be a miserable failure to America's youth. In October 2001, after the MIHOP attacks on September 11, 2001 (© 2001, Republican Party, All Rights Reserved), Bush pretty much was given carte blanche to just about anything he wanted and announced a global War on Terrorism . . . "War on Terrorism" . . . hoo boy, did he actually declare war on a noun? . .. anyway, and ordered an invasion of Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban, destroy Al-Qaeda, and to capture Osama bin Laden, which he failed at.

In March 2003, Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq, asserting, through falsified evidence, that Iraq was in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1441 and that the war was necessary for the protection of the United States. Of course, the tits-up Congress that rubberstamped everything he threw at them approved this debacle, and the blood on their hands will never be cleansed. It cost 43,934 American soldier's lives and an estimated 3.5 million Iraqi lives and did not completely end until 2016, the longest occupation or war of a sovereign nation in American history. A memorial in Washington D.C. is being planned for the Americans lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. The "War On Terrorism" was regarded as "the failure of failures". Anyone see a pattern here, or is it just me?

Running as a self-described "war president" in the midst of the Iraq War,<5> Bush was re-elected in 2004 by a whole lotta fraud and a steaming pile of 50-some million idiots who cowered to and believed the thought of "them Ay-Rabs invadin' mah town!".<6> His presidential campaign against Senator John Kerry was successful despite controversy over the fact that Bush's administration didn't do a single goddamned thing right in four years.<7><8> After his re-election, Bush continued to send America on a rocket-ride to the abyss. His domestic approval had declined from 90 percent (the highest ever recorded by The Gallup Organization) immediately after the September 11, 2001 (© 2001, Republican Party, All Rights Reserved) attacks to a low of 26 percent (in a Newsweek poll taken in June 2007),<9> the lowest level for any sitting president in 35 years.<10>

When asked about the Bush Presidency, most Americans generally have four reactions: they either decline to comment, make obscene gestures followed by anti-liberal, anti-Clinton and/or anti-homosexual remarks, sob uncontrollably, or just shrug their shoulders and walk away shaking their heads in shame.

Hey, I think it would make a HELL of a historical tidbit!
