Bush: a Study in Failure (Great Read!)
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."

<snip>

This is the man who became the President of the United States of America under extremely dubious circumstances. In deed, if the way Bush was " elected" had happened in a so-called Third World or developing country, the "civilized and democratic" people of the Western world, would have cried "Foul."

<snip>

Having "won" the election under such unconvincing and highly questionable circumstances, it is no wonder that some of the spectators shouted, 'Hail To The Thief." Sure, he had stolen the Presidency, no doubt about that, Probably realizing his debilitating shortcomings as a person and as "a cut- purse president" George W. Bush set out to terrorize the rest of the world.

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.

On the contrary, Bush has proved himself rather the bad guy who, with his sidekicks, rides into town, pulls out his Smith & Wesson or Colt 45 pistols, heads for the nearest saloon, and starts to cower everyone by indiscriminating firing into the ceiling.

1. The whole world has lost any respect for Bush
...most of them probably never had respect for him in the first place.

This man is a disgrace to America. Anyone who is voting for Bush in November is as guilty for all the crimes against America and the world as Bush is.

2. One good thing
Europeans and most of the world separates americans from the * misadminastration.
I noticed the BBC doing this in their news shortly after * refused to sign onto the Kyoto treaty.
I noticed they went back to saying the American administration shortly after 9/11.Needless to say they are back to the bushies .

3. Some of this is really fun:
"Bush has proved himself .. the bad guy who, with his sidekicks, rides into town, pulls out his Smith & Wesson or Colt 45 pistols, heads for the nearest saloon, and starts to cower everyone by indiscriminating firing into the ceiling."

4. "snake-like lips?" We snakes are outraged! Besides, we don't even have
lips. That's a primate thing.
