4. Actually, I think he's a genetic...
mixture... he's got Calvin Coolidge's looks, down to the bandy legs, Herbert Hoover's blind political eyes and Richard Nixon's sense of scruples. :P

8. Your poll issued no comparables
like Lucy, or Lionus or other great thinkers. Bush would be outraged as a comparison to Sponge Bob (because his far right wingers would cut their donations)

Bush might best resemble his dog Barney (No insult to Barney)

Bush, a "thinker"...About the closest he comes to being a thinker is when he imitates that Rodin pose on the crapper....

42. You must have been watching Hardball...
Chris Matthews actually made the statement last nite, "I think he's a philosopher."

Can someone please check the water and ventilation systems at that place? :crazy:

44. I should have been more clear. Bush is NO philosopher.
I meant, which philosopher does Bush (and his handlers) most try to resemble.

he was actually quite intelligent, but his opponents made his name into the word "dunce", which accurately describes the current Resident. :dunce:
