Hey, Token Black Friend, I’ve Got A Question For You
Posted on June 3, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under George W Bush, race | Leave a Comment
Was George W. Bush stupid or evil? I suppose we’ll never get a definitive answer (although the smart money is riding on “both”), but here’s more evidence for the first option:
Bush found himself perplexed by the flap over Joe Biden describing Obama as “articulate and bright and clean” in January 2007. So, naturally, the president [...]
Faux-Surprise And All That
Posted on May 21, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under George W Bush | 1 Comment
So, George W. Bush, not so much keeping up with the current events.
Obviously, this might be more newsworthy had he not spent most of his time in office bragging about the fact that the only part of a newspaper he ever reads is the sports section…

The Fight Club Theory

Maybe George W. Bush was secretly working for Tyler Durden in order to reset everyone back to zero.
…In which case he’d actually have been incredibly competent, albeit in a secret way.

The first question of today’s press conference:
Thank you for those comments, Mr. President. Here’s a question. I’m wondering if you plan to ask Congress for the remaining $350 billion in bail money. And in terms of the timing, if you do that before you leave office, sir, are you motivated in part [...]
Why Are You Still Here?

President Douchebag is still running around trying to defend his legacy. Here’s what he had to say on the topic of Hurricane Katrina in his press conference a few minutes ago:
At his last formal news conference, Bush at one point said: “Don’t tell me the federal response was slow when there was 30,000 people pulled [...]
Joe Klein, Dirty Fucking Hippie

Time’s Joe Klein absolutely nails the last words on George W. Bush and his disgraceful presidency. I won’t excerpt any of the column because I want you to read it all. Just know that I agree with every single word, especially the suggestion for a possible monument to our departing War Criminal in Chief.

Competing Theories
Posted on January 7, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under George H.W. Bush, George W Bush, Jimmy Carter | Leave a Comment
Theory 1: “A new national poll appears to validate the adage that time heals all wounds, at least when it comes to two former presidents of the United States.”
Theory 2: In direct comparison to one of the worst presidents in American history, if not the worst, Carter and HW really don’t look so bad.

The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes -or- How An Iraqi Journalist Became A Hero To Billions

You’ve surely seen this by now, but if not, it’s pretty hilarious. Well, other than the part where our president is an embarrassment worthy of the entire world’s scorn.
By the way, the title isn’t meant to imply that I want to see Bush hurt by flying projectiles. I don’t; I just want him to stand [...]
Americans Want The New President To Be In Charge Already
Posted on December 9, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under Barack Obama, George W Bush, polls, the Obama transition | Leave a Comment
Joe at AMERICAblog flags a new CNN poll which shows Barack Obama’s approval rating at 79%, 51 points higher than President Douchebag’s rating. As I’ve noted before, getting 80% of Americans to agree on anything is incredibly difficult, so this is an impressive number insofar as a pre-inauguration approval rating means anything. The CNN article [...]
The Language Is Insufficient
Posted on December 5, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under George W Bush, language annoyances, the internets | Leave a Comment
We either need to stop using “epic fail” to refer to things that aren’t the Bush presidency, or we need to come up with a new phrase to describe the most extreme epic fails and apply that to the Bush presidency.
It is simply incorrect to categorize the Bush presidency alongside anything short of, say, The [...]
It Would Be More Believable If It Contained Fewer Complete Sentences And Correctly Spelled Words

George W. Bush’s farewell address to a grateful nation.
In all sincerity, this may be the best piece The Onion has ever published. Every single paragraph has at least one fantastic line, and they manage to touch on all of Bush’s greatest hits. We’ll miss you, too, assface.

Soon-to-be-ex President Douchebag:
“I think it was a repudiation of Republicans. And I’m sure some people voted for Barack Obama because of me. I think most people voted for Barack Obama because they decided they wanted him to be in their living room for the next four years explaining policy. In other words, they made a [...]

No one should be surprised to see the least competent White House in American history send the wrong holiday cards to a group of religious leaders. Hey, at least they didn’t kill anyone in Holidaycardgate!1 In any case, isn’t this addendum to the CNN story a bit odd?

Holder And Rich
Posted on November 20, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under Eric Holder, George W Bush, presidential pardons, the Obama transition | Leave a Comment
The Republicans are preparing to make a big deal out of Barack Obama’s possible nomination of Eric Holder for attorney general. Specifically, Holder was Bill Clinton’s deputy attorney general and was involved in the pardon of Marc Rich. As you can probably guess, I doubt that this pardon will prove to be Holder’s undoing and [...]

Is it just me, or is there bound to be a bit of the proverbial hot potato game between Bush and Obama regarding General Motors’ fate? Obviously, all other considerations aside, neither wants to be president when GM fails. Even if it’s the best thing for the economy in the long run (and I’m not [...]

He’s a joke of a president. A sick, terrible, demented joke. But at least he did us one small favor: “George Bush [...] fuck[ed] things up so badly that the next president is going to be a black Democrat named Barack Hussein Obama.”
Thank you for that, W. For everything else, we say, “Goodbye and good [...]

I’m sorry, Governor Palin. I was being unfair when I called you “George Bush, only this time without daddy’s friends to provide at least an illusion of competence.”
Unlike George W. Bush, you have at least proven to the American people that you are not illiterate.

In the midst of the Great Depression, during his first inaugural speech, FDR famously told America, “[T]he only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” After calming Americans to the best of his ability, Roosevelt began to outline his steps for improving the economy and hopefully pulling America out of the Depression, without losing [...]
