Why Bush is better than Churchill

[lwcon]

What a great feeling it is when one of life's nagging mysteries is solved!

Who hasn't puzzled over this question — how it is that Bush is so much better than Winston Churchill?

As witnesses were trooping to the stand in the federal courthouse in Washington to testify in the case of United States v. I. Lewis Libby, and the Washington Post was publishing its series on the squalid conditions that wounded Iraq war veterans suffer at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center while thousands more soldiers were surging into Baghdad, President Bush held one of his private book club sessions that Karl Rove organizes for him at the White House. Rove picks the book, invites the author and a few neoconservative intellectual luminaries, and conducts the discussions. For this Bush book club meeting, the guest was Andrew Roberts, an English conservative historian and columnist and the author of "The Churchillians" and, most recently, "A History of the English-Speaking People Since 1900."

The subject of Winston Churchill inspired Bush's self-reflection. The president confided to Roberts that he believes he has an advantage over Churchill, a reliable source with access to the conversation told me. He has faith in God, Bush explained, but Churchill, an agnostic, did not. Because he believes in God, it is easier for him to make decisions and stick to them than it was for Churchill. Bush said he doesn't worry, or feel alone, or care if he is unpopular. He has God.

And we have him. Thank you, Lord, for giving us the best of all possible leaders! I can't believe that I ever doubted you.

1. Somehow, this reminds me of an encounter Churchill

had with Lady Astor, a member of Parliament he loathed. "You are incredibly ugly," Churchill is reported to have said.

Astor replied, "And you are quite drunk."

"That may be," Churchill replied, "But on the morrow I will be undisputably sober!"

6. Another encounter

Lady Astor: "If you were my husband I would put poison in your tea."

Churchill: "If I was you husband, I would drink it."

2. "he believes he has an advantage over Churchill"

Most.

Delusional jackass.

EVAR.

3. This is the definition of mental illness...

The absolute certainty that God is guiding his hand is what makes Bush so loony and so frightening,i.e, "must eradicate Islamofascists in Iran, must push nuclear button..."

4. Like the crazy candidate who believes he has a destiny to fulfill in The Dead Zone

I wish Johnny Smith had shaken Bush's hand back in 2000.

5. Unfortunately...

... no one seems to mind when Bush takes our children hostage.

8. Wow

'Because he believes in God, it is easier for him to make decisions and stick to them than it was for Churchill. Bush said he doesn't worry, or feel alone, or care if he is unpopular. He has God.'

Sounds like a megalomaniac and a fanatic.

And if he's so interested in the 'word of God', how about a few verses from 'Proverbs' 15 and 16:


'<32>He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
<33> The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<5> Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

<6[18> Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
<19> Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.'


There is a lot of emphasis on humility here; not so much on 'sticking to decisions' because God is 'on your side'!

10. Better take another look, Bush. I think you've mistaken god with satan.

11. Well, he's pretty powerful, too

I don't think Churchill had him working for him, either.

Advantage: Dubya!
