On the insult scale, think GW has moved ahead of Nixon!
Assuming that Hitler is the bottom rung for comparisons, how do you think the Chimperor will end up in historical comparisons for evil, incompetence, corruption, etc.?

6. More than the puppet--let's call him 'the face' of this rancid crew.

And as such, he'll go down in history as 'the face' of corrupt, morally bankrupt leadership.

He's the American equivalent of Marie Antoinette. And he and his gang of thugs have definitely knocked Nixon down a few rungs on the list.

9. The "face"--exactly.
The brain is PNAC, the body is the Heritage Foundation. I like the idea of calling him the "face," it implies there is something sinister behind it and we all know that there is.

2. He's not yet with Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao, but he's "working hard"
to reach their level. Give him some time (which he probably doesn't have, thank goodness).

3. My Favorite Nixon Insult
Seen on many Volkswagen bugs, in Berkeley, in 1972:

"RE-ELECT THE DIKE BOMBER"

Bush deserves that sort of scorn, but hasn't received it yet.

The little wimp. Let him go home to Mama to cry.

5. As presidents go, he will surpass Hoover and Nixon.
He will be one of the few historical presidents whose name deserves remembrance. FDR, JFK, Washington, Lincoln etc. The only difference is that GWB will be synonymous with arrogance, deceit, corruption and greed. Yep, get out those history books in fifty years, GWB: Worst U.S. President. :patriot: :kick:

8. Future quotes - politics and beyond
Future quotes:
"If we follow the irresponsible policies of my opponent, the nation will find itself bushed."

"The town government is under a cloud of accusations of corruption and bushing."

"Auditors are examining the books of XYZ corporation amid stockholders'lawsuits alleging that the CEO and executive board have bushed the company."

"You're fired! You've completely bushed up the ABC account! How did you get that business degree anyway?"

"I want a divorce. You're a total bush-up."

"Yeah? Go bush yourself, asshole!"
