2. He's no Caesar
That requires personally fighting and understanding of military tactics. Not to mention being able to make a speech.

4. I have mixed feelings on this one,
but I picked Mussolini. Benito was also a two bit dictator who salved his ego by invading third world nations.

There are so many similarities to others as well, however.

5. Your majesty is like...
(Adapted from Monty Python's Oscar Wilde sketch)

RUMSFELD: Mr. President is like a big jam doughnut with cream on the top.

BUSH: I beg your pardon?

RUMSFELD: Um... it was one of Cheney's.

CHENEY: I never said that.

RUMSFELD: You did, Dick, you did.

(BUSH stares expectantly at CHENEY)

CHENEY: ... Well, Mr. President, what I meant was that, like a doughnut, um, your arrival gives us pleasure... and your departure only makes us hungry for more.

(Laughter)

CHENEY: Mr. President, you are also like a stream of bat's piss.

BUSH: What?!?

CHENEY: It was one of Rumsfeld's. One of Rumsfeld's.

RUMSFELD: It sodding was not! It was Ashcroft!

ASHCROFT: I... I merely meant, Mr. President, that you shine out like a shaft of gold when all around is dark.

BUSH (accepting the compliment): Oh.

RUMSFELD (To CHENEY): Right. (To BUSH) Your majesty is like a dose of clap. Before you arrive is pleasure, and after is a pain in the dong.

BUSH (Loudly): WHAT?

CHENEY and RUMSFELD: One of Ashcroft's, one of Ashcroft's.

ASHCROFT: You bastards. Um... what I meant, Mr. President, what I meant...

RUMSFELD: We've got him, Dick.

CHENEY and RUMSFELD: Come on, Ash-y.

ASHCROFT: I merely meant...

RUMSFELD: Come on, Ash-y.

CHENEY: Let's have a bit of wit, then, man.

ASHCROFT: (Blows raspberry)

(BUSH shakes ASHCROFT's hand. Laughter all around)

10. That deserves a standing ovation
Thank you.

I could not vote. I don't think anyone in history has had that unique combination of ignorance, delusion, hubris, venality, incompetence, and blood lust.

13. Caligula was tempting but W's too small
for that psycho role. King George I'll settle fore as a spoiled aristo who delegated dumbly and went along with pretty much the same rationale and losing decisions right down to a ruined armed forces.

But Bush(the real Bush) I am sure will be in a class all by himself, as a duly "elected" misfit of the greatest power in world history in the strangest and most inappropriate exhibition of democracy that could never be conceived by a fiction writer.

I would also add Emperor Louis Napoleon as someone who was only astute(much more than Bush) in gaining policial power(through a deceitful coup) and bungling everything else with fatal middle class arrogance. The "Little Napoleon" was mocked as were all the ruinous examples named above. They ruined their respective nations and achieved only their own ruin or ruined reputations.

19. Just like Mussolini....
He would have corporations run everything, if he could... That is the definition of a fascist.

20. Hitler at the end of WWII.
The world is crashing down around him, yet he still
believes his orders are being followed, that his methods
of war are still working, and that he still has the armament
and soldiers to do whatever he wants. Also, he does not
listen to dissent; he goes so far that he will not allow
any dissent or criticism to enter into his vision or view.
