Describe Bush in one Word. From the Pew Poll: Incompetent
One word to describe Bush. To me, it was asshole, but to a lot of people it was 'honest.' Now the word most often associated is INCOMPETENT.

Ahhhh! Music to my ears.


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl::rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Bush's personal image also has declined, according to a poll released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center. Until now, the most frequently offered word to describe Bush was "honest," but now the word most often associated with the president is "incompetent," the survey said.

Of course the information is buried near the end of the article. An asshole with incompetent policies. Oh, change the advisors and change the perception. Nope. Not happening.

a good cirminal will steal your money and your heart and you'd do anything in the world for 'em.

10. For me, it's Arrogance! If I only get one word, that would be it.
I think he is very "competent" in that he has accomplished all he was brought to power to accomplish. It wasn't for the greater good, it was to enrich him and his corporate campaign CONtributors and set this Country back decades. He has done that.

26. Hard for me to argue that one
This man embodies so many negative elements. It's very hard to pick just one. Now if we can just connect the man, his policies and all the negative words, we may beat the freeps back for a hundred years.

Apparently, if you label yourself as a "Christian," you can kill women and children, rape our environment, and run the country into debt.
