7. The comparison to Reagan is rather apt, actually.
Edited on Fri Dec-09-05 10:17 PM by Spider Jerusalem
Bush seems to combine in his person the worst qualities of Reagan and Nixon.

The absurdity of comparing him to Jesus needs no comment.

And another comparison that's struck me as utterly ridiculous--the nauseating encomiums lauding Bush as the second coming of Winston Churchill in the wake of 9/11. Churchill was a brilliant man, an accomplished author, an eloquent speaker, and despite sharing some of the unfortunate prejudices of his class and era, a million times the man and statesman Bush could be on his best day.

10. B
All of them are absurd, but I really think B*** has become a substitute for Jesus in the minds of some people. You could compare it to the way some people thought about Lenin or Stalin--that monumental father figure who was going to save the whole country.

11. Comparing W to Poppy.
At least Poppy had the good sense not to occupy Iraq on his own (which is what would have happened). Otherwise, they are very similar in their arrogance, scheming, and distrust of democracy.

12. Other.
wish this was a poll - I'd vote in the 'it's appalling to compare him to a human being' camp.
