One word to sum up the Bush years---
Irresponsible.

Time magazine, http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1871113,00.html, says that it's "disappointment". I thought about it and decided that I had a better one: "irresponsible". They've governed so poorly, missed so many opportunities, and broken so many laws in the name of "freedom" or what-ever-the-hell they were trying to accomplish. We the people had no government and the nation has begun to crumble.

Irresponsible.

3. Failure would be best.
As in:

Bush failed to uphold the Constitutional rights of Americans
Bush failed to keep the US safe
Bush failed to keep our military safe
Bush failed to keep our financial sector secure
Bush failed to uphold the rule of law
Bush failed the people of New Orleans, especially, more than once
Bush failed to reform our crumbling school system, instead wasted billions on NCLB
Bush failed to raise the standard of living in this country
Bush failed to bring greater prosperity to this country
Bush failed to pay down the debt, even being handed a near $200 billion/year surplus
Bush failed to seek advice from professionally qualified experts, instead chose ignorant cronies.

I am sure I can think of more if I really tried.

58. I agree!
Criminal sticks out in my mind, from the people he employed, the actions they took, and Bush himself. I was just mentioning that torture is the least of Bush's worry, with 23 murdered POWs laying on his head.

And don't let Pelousi out of this either. She should be impeached for denying justice to America.

39. I second that.
"Disappointment" is WAY to mild a word for what this adminstration has done to our country.

24. Pillage.
Loot, plunder, and rape are in there, too. Barbarians overran the country, emptying the treasury and extracting every possible resource. The "News Media" cheered, fundies waved the flag, thanking Gawd-uh that we finally had a Good Christian Man in the White House, while our Elected Repre$entative$ sold us down the river. Nary a bang was heard, not even a decent whimper.

And the band played Waltzing Matilda.
