Bushie’s renunciation of booze has gained such mythic status that many people (Republican true believers) conveniently overlook the fact that his renunciation of adult beverages was hardly a redemptive turn of fortune. All that happened was that Bush the obnoxious drunk became Bush the obnoxious teetotaler, proclaiming that his life was now in the hands of Jesus Christ, not Jim Beam…
Bush’s prolonged sousitude also explains his verbal miscues, his syntactical insurgencies, his grammatical catastrophes. It’s as if the bourbon marinade left deadly lacunae in his already diminutive brain, making it impossible for the most elementary thought to navigate its way through the decimated labyrinth of his frontal lobes.
Then there are the quirky smirks, the bug-eyed glares and goofy grimaces, his words and facial expressions so out of sync that you are reminded of a badly dubbed Japanese monster movie. Finally, what about all those lip gyrations when Bushie is under stress, the tiny mouth working this way and that as if it were engaged in attempting to remove the cap from a bottle? It must be the sauce.

Bush is a lazy, incompetent criminal with an alcohol problem. But so many Americans are so stupid or so brainwashed, they think this guy is a “moral man”. The Bush family is one of the most corrupt, dysfunctional and downright evil families in American political history. Open your eyes, sheeple!!!
The Simian-in-Chief thinks he’s Ronald Reagan redux. Although Bush and Reagan have approximately the same I.Q. [both in the double digits], Reagsan spent his lifetime in front of a camera and knew precisely how to “communicate” his reactionary and dangerous policies to an ignorant and dumbed-down populace.
MonkeyMan has little talent for the cameras, and so even his base is finding out what many of us already knew: Re: Goeroge Bush’s intellect, there is no there there.!
I am hugely relishing Bush’s slide in the polls. Helen Thomas is right: Bush is THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!
Let’s see…A guy who learned to fly a fighter jet, graduated from a top University, got better grades than many members of congress, including Al Gore and happens to beleive in god is a lazy, evil idiot?
Why cant you guys on the left have an honest debate about ideas for five minutes without resorting to name-calling, anti-religious biggotry, and other personal attacks? Could it be that you’re out of ideas, and that your recycled Marxist ideology that has been proven an abject failure so many times is all that you have?
Gee, I hope I get an intelligent response outlining what you think any president should do about all of the issues of the day, but from the looks of these comments, I probably shouldn’t hold my breath. If you can’t come up with anything…feel free to call me homophobe, racist, nazi, sexist, stupid or…dare I say it…Christian! It’s okay, with all that hate, you will continue to turn people off, lose most of the next elections, and we grown ups will keep running the show for ya***insert raspberry noise here***. Ciao!
George Bush is a shallow, vain aristocrat who aspired to the presidency to work out personal issues around his relationship with his father. He is a pathological liar who has surrounded himself with the likeminded sycophants.
Bush never worked a day in his life until he became president. (The role of Texas governor is mostly ceremonial.) His life of privilege and the lack of challenges in his youth have rendered him the most woefully ill-equipped president we have ever had. Having an unqualified, incurious lout as president puts this great nation at risk.
He is proud that he is unread and barely educated. He got into Yale via an affirmative action program known as legacy enrollment. He has boasted about his “gentleman’s C” average there.
Ten years after he started at Yale – after his parents had gotten him off the hook for at least one cocaine arrest, after they arranged an abortion for a girl he’d gotten pregnant, and, of course, after they’d used their influence to scrub his record when he’d gone AWOL on his ANG service – Barbara and George Bush Sr. forced Jr. to go to Harvard Business School. But B School was their second choice – he couldn’t pass the L-SATs to get into law school. Looking back on Bush’s time at Harvard, one of his professors has gone on the record to say that, even though the future president was pushing 30, he was as inattentive, rude and disruptive as a high school Freshman.
Bush’s religious beliefs are probably as sincere as everything else about him – the fake Texas accent, for example, or the silly “ranch” or the Botoxed brows. If I thought otherwise, I might have a modicum of respect for him.
He’s a faker – think Eddie Haskell – he may have fooled you, but he hasn’t fooled me. At long last, two-thirds of the American public are have also gotten wise to Bush’s snow job, according to every recent poll.
If Iraq’s only marketable product were olive oil instead of petroleum oil, there is not a snowball’s chance in the Saraha that we would be embroiled in Mr. Bush’s quagmire there today. Case in point: If the latest version of Administration’s stated goals in Iraq – establishing democracy and revenging the brutality of dictators – were real and true, we’d also be in Darfur now, where there is no democracy and genocide currently underway.
(The whole “platform” for democracy in the Middle East issue is a carnard. If our government really believed installing an Arab democracy was a solution to encroaching Islamicism, it would have been much cost effective to pressure Kuwait into becoming a democracy. Americans died for their liberation, after all.)
Whatever. Now we can’t leave Iraq. If we pull out now we’d risk repeating mis-steps the first Bush Administration did at the end of the Gulf War in 1992. After our military defeated Iraq, Bush Sr. incited the Iraqis to rise up against Saddam. They took him at his word. But as soon as the revolution started, the Iraqi patriots realized in horror that the Americans weren’t coming in. Then- Sec. of Defense Dick Cheney talked the former President Bush out of keeping his word with the Iraqis. Why? Because he rightly feared we’d get bogged down in a quagmire there. As a result, Saddam’s forces rounded up the would-be rebels and shot them in cold blood in their village squares – hundreds of them were massacred because of Bush-Cheney fecklessness.
The current president has put the country into a similar bind. If we leave, Iraq will devolve into civil war and genocide overnight.Some of us who are reality-based predicted from the outset, back in 2003, that we’d arrive at this point sooner or later, if the Iraq misadventure were undertaken.
Taking the country to war based solely on his whim is an act so monstrous, so treaonous, that it ought to warrant the ultimate punishment.
It won’t, of course. He’ll be pardoned by the next president, whoever he or she may be.
But he can’t rewrite what has done, nor what is about to be revealed. History will record that George Walker Bush is, and will likely – and hopefully – always remain, America’s Worst President Ever.
Soon as the deal was done, the GOPers started to bitch,
Though they closed no loopholes nor upped taxes on the rich.
Sure, right-wingers ain’t happy
About getting an ass-whupping from Pappy,
To which we say, “Shut up and eat your turd sandwich.”
“This year is starting to feel a lot like 2016, a primary field that contains Trump and all the other not-Trump candidates. The only difference between this contest and 2016 is that other candidates then ran (ostensibly, at least) as their own selves and not just lesser versions of the OG.”
A Utah parent filed a challenge to have the Bible removed from public school libraries, citing passages describing sex and violence. The committee appointed to review the complaint said the Bible may remain in high school libraries, but it will be removed from elementary and middle schools for containing “vulgarity or violence.”
“I’m going to leave it up to Kevin McCarthy to see if he wants to help defeat Putin,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told Punchbowl News. “I mean, he’s been pretty good… But is the Republican Party going to be the party that bails out [Russian President Vladimir] Putin? I hope not.”
Southern Poverty Law Center: “In 2022, SPLC documented 1,225 hate and antigovernment extremist groups across the United States. Extremist ideas that mobilize these groups now operate more openly in the political mainstream. But the ascent of the hard right is not inevitable. We can push back against this rising authoritarianism and turn the tide.”
A new Yahoo News-YouGov poll found that 62% of Americans believe that Donald Trump should not be allowed to serve as president again if he is convicted of a “serious” crime. A slightly smaller majority — 52% — said they believe that Trump has committed a serious crime.
Gallup: “Seventy-one percent of Americans think same-sex marriage should be legal, matching the high Gallup recorded in 2022. Public support for legally recognizing gay marriages has been consistently above 50% since the early 2010s.”
Wall Street Journal: “The number of homeless people in California grew about 50% between 2014 and 2022. The state, which accounts for 12% of the U.S. population, has about half of the nation’s unsheltered homeless, an estimated 115,000 people, according to federal and state data last year. It also has among the highest average rent and median home prices in the U.S.”
CNBC: Nonfarm payrolls in May increased by 339,000, better than the 190,000 Dow Jones estimated.
The unemployment rate rose to 3.7% in May against the estimate for 3.5%. May’s jobless rate was the highest since October 2022. Professional and business services led job creation followed by government and health care.
