History quiz: Besides killing bin Laden, what are some of George W. Bush's greatest accomplishments?
Of course, everyone knows that he freed the slaves, and then went on to defeat Adolf Hitler. But what are some of his less-noted triumphs?

With his powers of telekinesis...

And that polio vaccine was pretty important too, although as soon as a cure for something like that comes out everyone forgets what a scourge it used to be virtually overnight.

Can you imagine how that must have cut into his brush clearing schedule?

-or- you know causing a computing machine to be built to read all our email, as the case may have been. Also impressive, in KGB-Stasi sort of way.

37. He put on his flight suit and defeated the Super Devil.
The Super Devil is at least six inches taller than Satan and rides a motorcycle and carries a jar of marmalade that forces people to commit adultery.

Oh. Wait. He had a beer with the Super Devil:


My bad.

42. Probably hiring that brilliant Attorney General
that he used as a pocket watch. The 2nd one that is. The one that reminded me of Minnie Mouse, not the one Bush's staff shoved a pillow on his face while he was in the hospital just back from surgery.

I'm talking about the one who could only testify, "Senator, I don't recall that occurence." "I'm sorry, Senator, I don't recall the names of any of the replaced Circuit Justices." "Senator, I don't recall much of anything definite that I could testify to."

47. He managed to suspend habeus corpus, lie without
being called on it by the press, convince the citizens that he wouldn't wiretap them or invade their privacy while knowingly having ordered both. He was able to consult Chu on whether he was actually autorizing torture and assume he wasn't since he didn't receive an authoritative answer. He also fathered the human hybrid dog? that is featured on the DU homepage.

George Bush's greatest accomplishment of all was being appointed president in 2000 by a Supreme Court that was unprecedented while stating their decision in that one case should never be used as a precedent again.

54. Everything they said about Brian Boitano in South Park
When George W. Bush was in the Olympics skating for the gold
He did two sowcows and a triple lutz wearing a blindfold

When George W. Bush was in the Alps fighting grizzly bears
He used his magical fire breath and saved the maiden's fair

When George W. Bush travelled through time to the year 3010
He fought the evil robot king and saved us all again

And when George W. Bush built the pyramids, he beat up Kubla Khan
Cuz George W. Bush doesn't take shit from anybody...

:puke:
