Do you personally know anyone who is wrong as often as Bush?
I'm frequently wrong. And I have a hard headed inability to admit when I'm wrong sometimes. Sometimes it's quite annoying to others. But Bush has taken this wrong business to stratospheric levels.

Do you personally know anyone who has been wrong as often as Bush, and lies as frequently about it?

Perhaps it's a social phenomenon that's more common than I think.

Maybe I'm Bush Jr when it's comes to this "wrong" business and I just THINK I'm better off.

I certainly don't know anyone else who's wrong as often, if I personally don't fit the case.

What's been your experience?

6. It's not just that he's wrong almost all the time.
Most of us can fuck stuff up and nothing bad happens except maybe just to us. When I make one of my frequent mistake I get charged an overdraft fee, or my boss gets pissed off, or I break crockery or lock my keys in the car. But when Bush fucks up, which he does on a daily basis, people get killed; countries are destroyed; economies collapse. The issue isn't how many mistakes he makes, but how egregious they are. And they are truly horrendous. What's even worse is that he doesn't think he's ever wrong.

8. HE is not the one who is "wrong". it's his believers who are wrong.
shrub himself isn't "wrong" because his job is to simply be the reciptient of the banana republican noise machine's propaganda efforts to promote him as a tough but compassionate, christian, resolute leader, blah, blah, blah.

and it obviously doesn't matter if he does things that interfere with that image, such as being a wimpy, uncompassionate, unchristian, flip-flopper, and preferring reading a script rather than leading a nation. the banana republican noise machine knows how to ridicule the side of the story (i.e., the truth) that doesn't fit the desired image.

when he hands us all those lies, he's not "wrong", he's just doing what he believes his job is, which is to provide a fig leaf to cover-up massive evil by his cohorts.

the people who are so often WRONG are the banana republican true believers who simply refuse to accept that they, along with the rest of the nation, have been neo-conned.

9. People who are wrong that often pass in and out of your life
They are the people who are the failed general managers of places that you have worked, they are fired and you never hear from them again. I have endured legions of them, and out lived them all, jr included.

19. Bingo!
All the people that I have run into that have such a...well, let's call it low accuracy factor had very high alcohol consumption.
They not only were wrong a majority of the time, they tended to be delusional and unpleasant people to be around.
Hmmm. Do you see a resemblance here?

11. My boss.
Not only is he a flaming right-wing idiot who thinks everything Bush does is right (which basically ties him with Bush to begin with), but he makes numerous dumbass decisions at work and is famous for his caring and sensitivity. Example of same: "If people have to die in that flood (he's referring to Katrina and New Orleans), let it be those parasite fucks on welfare who are bleeding us dry and costing me money."

14. I'm not a cruel man, Ron...
...but for the sake of humanity, and the greater good, I hope your boss gets caught alone on a deserted highway in the dead of night in the middle of a terrible blizzard.

And if God should chose to intervene (hey, who am I to judge), let it be in the form of a welfare recipient driving a car with a working heater, a thermos of hot coffee, and a kinder heart than your boss's.

Some lessons just need to be taught the hard way.

16. Yup, I worked with a guy like that last year.
I quit and got a new job with wonderful co-workers, more interesting work, more autonomy, and 30% more money.

The idiot was wrong almost all the time and quite psychotic. Think about it, you spend your days and weeks continually bumping into evidence or having it rammed down your throat that YOU WERE WRONG. You just have to be nuts to be able to continue to function. To be able to keep getting up in the morning and going out and facing another day OF BEING WRONG!!!!!!!!!! Good God... You would just have to be in total denial of reality. As was my ex-coworker.

17. No
usually natural selection takes care of people that stupid early in life. If bush was a chimp (like he is usually compared to here) he would have starved or gotten eaten by a tiger and never made it to adulthood. NOTE: we need to stop insulting chimps.
