25. I'm old enough to remember Nixon and Watergate
Edited on Thu Jan-08-09 03:56 PM by wryter2000
No contest. Nixon doesn't even approach Bush for evil. True, more people died in Vietnam than have in Iraq and Afghanistan (so far). That's the only criterion that goes in Nixon's favor for the awfulness prize. Nixon didn't create that war out of nothing like Bush did with Iraq.

As far as crimes against the Constitution and our form of government, Bush makes Nixon look like a 3-year-old holding his breath. And Nixon would never have let an American city be destroyed by a natural disaster and do nothing. Nixon wouldn't have had people still displaced over 3 years later. Nixon didn't destroy the whole effing economy and drive us into a depression.

Even Ronald Reagan can't claim the same level of corruption, crime, and incompetence as Bush.

No contest.
