Worst member of the Bush administration

You know the names. By now, they have become infamous. Pick your poison. Which one was the worst? You can use any criteria, from most evil, to worst scumbag, to most diabolical, to worst impact, etc.

Once and for all, who from the Bush admin. gets to be the top name on your shit list?

I have a special place in my heart (sarcasm) for one of them, which I will not reveal. But you can see who I voted for. One of them I think is the worst for various reasons.

Anyhow, your votes count!

I voted for Cheney based on the fact the man is just plain evil, but it was W. that made Cheney possible.

She, more than any other Bushy, was responsible for 9/11.

Feckless evil.

I wish there were a hell sometimes so that I could be comforted by the knowledge that certain people went there.

Wolfowitz is another example of a waste of skin.

Colon Powell should also spend eternity in a dark place for his efforts to lie us into war.

as I recall...
the worst of them is still Poppy. He is the real life Invisible Man, and we should all tremble at that power and the rest he holds.
While our broadcast and cable disinformation networks keep us stupid about the basic facts of life in these American states.
dont believe me?
just wait for 2016.
who do you think really needs Christie destroyed right now?

even if it's for Worst of the Worst, is a sure way to induce vomiting.

Even if he was largely directed by Cheney and others, at the end of the day, Bush was the President and so should have been the one responsible.
