Bush: a Study in Failure
http://allafrica.com/stories/200405260922.html

When a new history of the United States of America comes to be written, the narrative will show that the biggest disaster that ever happened to that country was President George W. Bush Jnr., and not the calamity of September 11, 2001.

And if George Bush should write his memoirs after being voted out of the White House, he should title the work, "Failure" with the sub-title, "How the Son Never Rose."

George Bush is the clearest example of how, in spite of all the privileges and advantages at one's disposal, one can easily fail to succeed in life.

George Bush will never be in the same league as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Frank Delano Roosevelt, J. F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Bill Clinton, for example.(UNDERSTATEMENT)

1. "And if George Bush should write his memoirs "?
That's rich. He can barely speak. Do you really think he can write?

As a teacher of writing, I would love to get my hands on something he's written. I shudder at the thought of how he writes. I guess it's the English teacher's version of rubbernecking.

4. description
I liked this paragraph:

With a deadpan face, eyes almost shut out by his eyelids, snake-like lips, hectoring speeches and a bellicose posture, Bush sought to create the impression that he was the modern-day equivalent of the Old Wild West Sheriff who, alone or in the company of a posse, rides out of town to catch the bad guy and bring him to Justice.

5. Randi Rhodes brought this up yesterday.
She insists that the man can't read. He's publicly acknowledge that he doesn't read newspapers, doesn't read books, doesn't read anyting.

...But maybe there's more to the story? Maybe it's because he's illiterate? Knowing this man, nothing would surprise me.

As far as being a failure, he's a miserable failure. He's worse than a failure. Can you imagine waking up in the morning and looking in the mirror to that?

8. Interesting thought.
Maybe Bush can't read . By now he should have improved reading the speeches others write for him. I always thought, they weren't his ideas and that's why he can't express them. HUMMMM maybe some one is whispering into his ear and he's repeating everything.

7. Actually, one begot the other
<When a new history of the United States of America comes to be written, the narrative will show that the biggest disaster that ever happened to that country was President George W. Bush Jnr., and not the calamity of September 11, 2001.>

The idiot prince could only preserve and justify his illegitimate and profiteering rule by allowing the national diaster to occur and prancing off to war.

12. Idiot Prince
So, when will Americans wake up and smell the coffee? Corporate Amercia is in control & has been calling the shots for a long time.
Now, we have laws that are making us the enemy & trying to take our guns. The constitution was designed to protect us from our own government, but the founding fathers (I'm sure) never forsaw the weapons that they have today.

Solutions anybody??

9. Bush cannot Think--Read--Speak-Write
This scorched brain recovering alcoholic is pitiful.

He has lived a protected life. He did well flying a jet. I applaud it.

One cannot overlook this background.

Member of "Sorry Group" family.

It cannot be spun away by dad's $$$.

This is true family of anti-christ.

14. He failed upwards...
to the top mgmt. job in Amerika, then he failed miserably in that job, as well. Don't cry for him though. He is a millionaire and after he is replaced he can go back to his pig farm and kill pigs.
