Spencer Ackerman asks the tough questions:

Is comparing Bush to Sarah Palin more insulting to Bush or to Palin?

I’m going to say “more insulting to Palin.” Palin’s something of a laughingstock, but Bush is a villain. I mean, he wrecked the world economy, he led to millions of Iraqis being forced to flee their homes, he’s a total disaster and a disgrace. Palin gave bad answers in TV interviews. There’s no real comparison.

2. It is supremely insulting to Bush

I mean, at least Bush has a JD and an MBA.

Sarah has a Sports Journalism Degree from university of Idaho

6. "Bush has a JD"???

On what planet?

[Taverner]

11. Thought he went to law school

Correct me if I'm wrong - it may have been on his public CV at one point (and you know the BA likes to change things to get away with shit)

15. Just a BA in History from Yale (other people's work) and an MBA from Harvard Business - daddy's pull

The Smirking Turd never earned a fucking thing - in those (Viet Nam draft deferment) days, poor kids with smarts earned college money for doing the work for rich kids too lazy or stupid to do their own class work... keeping both in school with a student deferment. (It was a symbiotic arrangement in those days ... and much of the faculty turned a blind eye.)

7. Say what you will of Sarah....

She hasn't killed millions. Not that she wouldn't if she had the chance, but, to date, she hasn't.

14. I agree with the ThinkProgress post...

..."Palin’s something of a laughingstock, but Bush is a villain."

But let's make no mistake about it...given half a chance, and armed with her own personal Cheney, I firmly believe that Moose Mom could make Bush's body count look like a joke. She has the will, she has the desire, she simply lacks the support staff.

8. Remember, she could see Russia from her house - he can't.

I think that settles it.

9. You guys are lucky.

You can just laugh at her -- we have to put up with two more years of her as governor. Ack....!!!

[MiniMe]

10. Both scare me

[Political_Junkie]

16. Agreed

Stupidity mixed with power. :scared:

[applegrove]

17. It is just scary how popular she soon became and how many people wanted

her for VP...even after 8 years of the bush puppet. Very frightening people actually would vote for another empty vessle.

18. Bush is the drug-crazed, mass-murdering, religious fool that Palin always wanted to be.

The simple fact that he actually got to be that puts him "ahead", so to speak.

[earthlover]

19. All kidding aside....

Palin is much, much, much scarier than Bush and a lot less intelligent.

Bush was mean and incompetent. Palin has this brainwashed sense about her that would probably nuke the planet to the stone age, where man walked alongside the dinosaurs in her view....
