What an Asshole
We're now in Iraq longer than we were in WWII, and pretty much every story coming out of Iraq is bad news and Bush still won't admit this is a civil war.
As bad as that is, check out this exchange between Bush and Webb about Webb's son serving in Iraq. At a private reception held at the White House with newly elected lawmakers shortly after the election, Bush asked Webb how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in Iraq, was doing. What a complete and total asshole. Anyway, I'm back and blogging. Sorry I needed a blogging vacation as work is piling up. I might have some neat videos soon of some of my science. We'll see if it's something I want to publish or not. |

Webb should have said, "Fine. How are your fat, worthless drug-hoovering daughters? Had a rough few months of binge-drinking? Been expelled from any other Latin American countries yet?"
Fortunately Webb has more class than I do, but someone's got to say it to his face.
I really wonder how Bush doesn't just give in to the utter failure that his life has been, both professional and personal. Religious delusions would do it, I guess.

I thought this article in Slate had a pretty good summary of the major disasters we can blame this guy for for the next 100 years.
However, the tougher question is, can you think of one thing that he's done that's been a resounding success? You know, when in a crowded room consisting of people other than his fanatical supporters, is there anything they can claim success in and not get a chuckle or outright guffaw from the audience? I really can't think of one.

When I read "What a total and complete Asshole" in your article, I thought that you had the advance copy of Thomas Friedman's new column.
Apparently, there are a great many assholes to keep up with.
But I must disagree with the rev. dr, that Bush can be blamed for all the malfeasance or that he should shoulder the burden alone, atlas-like. I do not ascribe the power of superhuman stupidity to the man; merely attribute it to a collective of particularly industrious assholes with a figurehead to appeal to populist illiterates.
However, the tougher question is, can you think of one thing that he's done that's been a resounding success?
He's made us much more introspective for one. Thousands of liberal blogger monkeys on a constant fisking mission is useful in it's own navel-gazing way. We are no longer so sure that the American dynasty will last a thousand years -- I actually heard that come from the lips of a senior American military officer without the least bit of irony awareness.

Ouch,
Seriously, we need a better history lesson. I thought claiming anything would last a thousand years was a faux pas since the third Reich.
