Who Would Have Ever Thunk It?
Edited on Mon Jun-18-07 08:04 PM by David Zephyr
Who would have imagined, who would have thunk it, that the world would be much better off today if:

-- If Yasser Arafat was still in charge in Palestine instead of Hamas? I know, I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true and who'd have thunk it? :shrug:

-- If John Ashcroft was still in charge of the Justice Department instead of Alberto Gonzales? I know, I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true and who'd have thunk it? :shrug:

-- If Saddam Hussein was still in charge of Iraq instead of the George W. Bush. I know, I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true and who'd have thunk it? :shrug:

-- If Colin Powell was still in charge of the the State Department instead of Condi Rice? I know, I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true and who'd have thunk it? :shrug:

-- If Saddam's police had been running Abu Graib instead of Donald Rumsfeld. I know, I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true and who'd have thunk it? :shrug:

-- If George Bush's father were president instead of his son. I know, I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true and who'd have thunk it? :shrug:

-- If, in fact, Micky Mouse were president instead of the current moron. I know, I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true and who'd have thunk it? :shrug:

I know...it takes a lot to even say it...

I mean...who would have ever --- no, better make that --- who COULD have ever thunk it? :shrug:

2. Who would have ever thunk we'd be better off with Nixon in the WH?
Great post. We shouldn't lose sight of the absurdity and surreality that's been foisted on us.

4. I miss Nixon
but mostly I miss a congress that had some guts! The Iraq invasion shouldn't have been ok'd, Gonzales shouldn't have been approved, Rummy shouldn't have been approved. The whole thing is a gd mess.

7. If we were back 10 years in time with a GOP congress...
Edited on Mon Jun-18-07 09:37 PM by Alexia Wheaton
We still had the Presidency and Clinton was very popular.
I still prefer the Democratic congress though.

That Spelling would be back in a classroom instead of the Department of Education...come to think of it; maybe everyone from Texas should be tossed out of Washington and sent back to Texas! Wait a minute?! That's an imigration policy that we could all support...

10. yep, and I thought we had it bad back then.
When it comes to bush, there's one thing I know I can rely on.

He will consistently and purposefully find the absolute worst person to fill a position, and the worst possible plan and course of action to solve a problem or respond to a crisis.

He destroys things. It's like a hobby. Death and devastation are his sidekicks.

We are in sooooo deep.
