Bush's Greatest Achievements

[lame54]

http://www.bushwatch.com/

Bravely insisted that random Arabs be tortured everywhere.

Boldly blocked any attempts to get a handle on Climate Change eight whole years ago, because what’s the rush?

Completely fucked over the U.S. Constitution and stacks of federal law, because why not, Nixon was probably a good dude!

Always 100% behind Israel, because Israel has never, ever been wrong about anything in History. It’s where Jesus lives!

No Child Left Behind: This stupid program of busy-work madrassa-style rote learning, this doofus Big Government federal intrusion into the lives of your five-year-old children as American literacy and math scores have dramatically plunged, is Bush’s “fifth success,”.

Bush “promotes democracy” by literally destroying the people and infrastructure of various countries with oil reserves. This is bold!

Bush’s shifty demeanor and innate untrustworthiness kept us from taking his insane Social Security initiative seriously.

Bush installed two middle-aged wingnuts on the Supreme Court, which is a great victory against those stupid enough to be born poor or black or female. But just imagine if Bush’s real choice, Harriet Miers, had become his favorite fancy judge ever!

Bush’s greates achievement is that he stayed alive for the last eight years and saved us from a Dick Cheney presidency.

Gave tragically stupid people someone to look up to. A true inspirational hero, that one.

Forging millions of greedy, middle brow, sex crazed drunks into a political movement.

Thanks to George Junior W. Bush bravely ignoring EVERYONE from his own father to every living American diplomat and general, Iraq is now a peaceful, free and prosperous nation and American Troops returned home as victors during the Victor/Victory Parade of July 4, 2007. Good-bye, Terrorisms! Even Afghanistan is free today!
