All Hail His Dubyaness!

BUSHIE, YOU'RE DOING A HECK OF A JOB!
I
am not exactly Bush II's biggest fan. He is by far the worst
President in my lifetime, and I speak as someone who survived Nixon,
Bush
I and Clinton.
His lack of respect for democracy and the rule of law is not
shocking, given the fact that he blatantly stole both the 2000 and
2004 elections.
His choice to bankrupt the nation imposing (ostensibly) democracy on
Iraq and other foreign lands was shocking (as well as ironic.)
But what is really shocking is his total incompetence and total lack of interest in the governance aspects of government. The other great villains of recent human history— Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Saddam, etc.— at least had some interest in using their power to make the world a better place (albeit not a place where any sane person would want to live.) In their demented ways, these villains were trying to make their countries stronger. Bush II— even though he has not yet resorted to mass murder (except in Iraq)— stands alone in his utter indifference to any goal beyond taking and keeping power. He's seems utterly uninterested in making the USA stronger. And, he is an idiot.
His idiocy was especially obvious after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. A major American city (which is also a crucial seaport serving the entire south-central US) was destroyed. He did nothing.
His greatest military victory, in Iraq, was nullified by his idiocy as well: Bush II went to great efforts to oust the Saddam regime but didn't plan at all for the aftermath of the war. He did at least succeed in having some much publicized elections in Iraq, but no one knows who won the elections. Moreover, whoever it is who is in charge over there in Iraq is not really in charge. Iraq is in a state of anarchy— and with no help from the Iraqis themselves, American troops now find themselves fighting a seemingly never-ending war against an entirely anonymous insurgency.
Bush II is a unique example of a wartime leader who has asked no sacrifices of his people. He hasn't instituted a draft, and hasn't even used his prestige to urge more Americans to enlist. (This may be related to the fact that his own college-aged daughters opted to party instead of enlisting.) He hasn't urged the American people to reduce their usage of oil and other scarce commodities. He hasn't raised taxes to pay for the war. He has done nothing to stop potentially hostile foreign powers from buying strategically important industrial assets: the United Arab Emirates' takeover of several seaports and Red China's takeover of IBM's personal-computer division (by the Beijing-based Lenovo Group) are just two examples of an extremely dangerous trend.

poll
(The people were not happy!)
They say the President's dead
but no one can find his head
It's
been missing now for weeks
But
no one noticed it he had seemed so fit
and
I'm sick of it
