1. Alcohol, cocaine, breeding, genetics, laziness, priveledge...
arrogance, pampering, etc. Those are a few of the reasons.

3. He isn't intellectually curious and he is very stubborn. A bad "combo" if
there ever was one.

4. Good Question , Is stupid Stupidly seemingly?
Commonality, by Bush,s diffination is a common relatable language understandable to the average english speaking american in the eyes of George Bush. Fence mending, to restore to condition that which is broken. I aim to, a early american western phrase ,to set sight to a common goal. Sly likeness to a fox,cunning. Bush understands that as language eleavates there are those that are left behind, (sly), Screen shielder, behind the screen is the black sheep. Don,t ask don,t tell. ,Clinton military policy gays in the military- Bush, don,t ask ,don,t tell. don,t ask about what the war is about,(state secrets) Don,t tell. Here,s the point, Bush is a collective out front ,a gathering of everything and anything collectable over a long period of time that can be applied.Likeness to a magnet.So the real question that remains to truth, is who is George Bush? We already know ,what you see is what you get. But just what is that?The chicken or the egg.

24. I agree, that was extremely well done!
I don't know when I have enjoyed a performance so much! We were incredulous, but in stitches throughout the entire thing! Stephen Colbert deserves a lot of credit. His material was extremely biting, and he got in more great zingers than a whole month of late night shows, hard hitting ones, but clever and subtle, yet he never once flinched, while all the time standing only a few feet away from Bush*, seeing his face. And Helen Thomas was just wonderful, LOL! That was truly one for the ages... and for us.:woohoo:

7. George W . Bush,s Philosophy
If nothing or very little that you do or are responsible for having done goes right or is right,than odds must have it that somewhere,s down that same line something must eventually favor your choice.Getting it right the first time is not necessarily the means to an end.Having four win,s in a row must count for something,even if it is surrounded with controversy.Was it not a Roman philosopher that said,give me all your defaults, rejected, outcasts, and the likeness to and I will conquer the world. So support Bush.

9. Rush, Bush, Bush,s cabinet
Nixon people restored to power, Saved, A national treasure Rush ,the pill popping radio bimbo and his millions of foolish fallowers,The foundation for the friends of J.Edger Hoover, Rush thinks that all drug users should be placed in jail,Hoover had ideas . Hoover seemed to have a loathing of homosexuality though he was a homosexual.Rush Limbauch loathes drug users though he himself is one. He claims it was his back pain that caused him to become a drug abuser,to become addicted to feel good pills. Indeed indeed the power trip thing, all those fools Rush is carrying.All those fools Bush is carrying.

12. inbreeding and fetal alcohol syndrome
smoking parents

then he started in with drugs and alcohol to destroy his own brain

this, combined with laziness and a sense of entitlement that extends to the most trivial of activities, requiring servants, for example, to flush toilets after he uses them, has created a thing so stupid that it barely qualifies as human

17. You got it
It's the perfect foil - if you can't get anything intelligible out of a person, how do you hold them accountable?

20. Trust fund baby, rewarded for being stupid.
Edited on Tue May-02-06 03:08 AM by carpetbagger
Never had to work a day in his life, so he got positive reinforcement for the last 40 years for not acting too smart, from the frathouse to the cocaine years to the alcohol years to the influence-peddling all the way to elective politics.

Prior to 1994, nobody really gave a monkey's butt what Bush thought. He was a pretty face who could backslap and bring in riches from the family connections. You buy him like you buy nice furniture for your office, to impress people.

After 1994, he succeeded because he capitalized on a Texan and American preference to elect people who sound bossy over people who know what they're talking about. He uses language effectively, and has a unique skill in evading questions.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, one more reason for his political success. He doesn't accept any conventional wisdom regarding civility or tradition.

23. its karma
He is playing out some of his own past life karma
as a pope from the dark ages, combined with some
reincarnate nazi's like cheney and rumsfeld.

His pope-memories lead him to believe himself papal
and sacred and holy. He is offended when people
don't kiss the ring. Like his papal army of the day,
he has set about a draconian scourge to pay back
for his disrespect.

He provides a good front for teh nazis whilst they
set about achieving the imperial objectives for
caspian oil, with a different army.

Stupid?

25. First, his parents are related from way back, then cocaine, then..........
....alcholhol, then just plain laziness. Reading "The Unauthorized Biography of G. Bush (#41) it's very enlightening. http://www.tarpley.net/bushb.htm

Then punch in George Bush #43 and this is what you get. Explains so much. http://www.google.com/search?q=George+Bush+%2343&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

I still think the relationship between George #41 and Barbara explains a lot and the fact that #43 thinks the world owes him something and he plans to collect.

26. It is amazing, isn't it?
Have you ever known a public figure of any kind who was so consistently wrong, wrong, wrong about literally everything? I mean, that's a pretty good trick. And what if we had someone in office who was right as often as the chimp is wrong? Wow.
