What would Harry do?

[Contrary1]

You can find hundreds of favorable comparisons of Smirk to Truman, some made by the Idiot Son himself. I was going to post several of them, but decided it wasn't worth the bandwidth.

George Bush is no Harry Truman, not in his wildest dreams.



"WASHINGTON, May 29 — In November 1999, as the 2000 presidential campaign was about to begin, I asked George W. Bush if he had any role models for the conduct of world affairs. Not surprisingly, he named Winston Churchill — every school-boy statesman’s beau ideal. But his choice of presidents was interesting. He didn’t cite Ronald Reagan or FDR, or even his own dad. Bush chose Harry S. Truman.

WHAT A PROPHETIC choice. Now, in the war on terror, Bush must do what Truman did in the late 1940s: oversee the construction of new institutions, in Washington and around the world, to protect and promote the shining ideals of freedom. But, unlike Truman, Bush begins this monumental task without deep knowledge of the federal bureaucracy, and a meager track record of mastering details. Eager to delegate, but often skeptical of what government can do, he now must get his hands dirty and redesign the bureaucracy from top to bottom. To succeed in the role history has handed him, he’ll have to be Harry S. Bush."

LOATHE!!!!!! Bush and his family and cabal. He would hate them so completely he would glow in the dark. He would thrash their sorry butts so thoroughly they would never walk upright again.
