What will "Bushian" come to mean in the future?
The term "Clintonian" has come to be a synonym for evasiveness, especially of the slick or hair-splitting variety. My question is what will "Bushian" come to mean?

3. Total incompetance
lying, and immorality. (note to visiting freepers-immorality can mean more than fornication. It can also mean starting an illegal war based on lies, which results in thousands of deaths-and somehow, this type of immorality seems worse to me than having sex with someon not your spouse)

4. Bushian - Definition
Bushian - (1) To act in a manner contrary to declared position. (2) To deceive through a manner of convoluted logic and half truths to gain a position. (3) To deride someone by accusing their actions of being contrary to the true position.

Examples therein - 1 - Bush claimed to be for states rights, yet has strengthed the power of the federal government over states. - 2 - In order to go to war with Iraq, President Bush deceived and mislead people through sentences that followed like a skip in a vinyl record player. - 3 - Bush accused those who spoke against the Patriot Act as unpatriotic for questioning details that threatened the bill of rights.

As all three definitions are easily derived in a form of deception it would not be difficult to apply three full meanings to such a simple and uncomplicated word.

5. It's the new "SNAFU". Or maybe it'll replace "FUBAR".
:)

Though, I suspect that the definition has only just begun to form. In the next few months, I bet that "Bushian" takes on an even more negative connotation.

6. It will be difficult to have a meaning because
the father and son were quite different. By comparison, the father was intelligent, educated, diplomatic, respectful, hard working, a real combat veteran, and everything the mutant son isn't. However, if Bushian refers only to the son, then the best synonym is "arrogant".

7. Perhaps to just refer to the son
The term could be BushCoian.

8. Bushian - the ability to fail despite being born with a silver spoon
or the ability to effortlessly destroy that which others worked so tirelessly to create.

9. Selfish, brutal and oblivious
Liberal connotations of incompetence, deception in the service of the wealthy, and all sorts of corruption will blend into a tasty melange of wickedness to hopefully be a tag for years to come.
