Beating around the Bushes'

I foresee the growth of a new disingenous movement of back-handed compliments for the exiting (You're still here!) executive leader of the US.
According to David Evans in the 4 Nov 08 Guardian, "let's hope he's remembered as the man that paved the way for the United States' first black president." His greasy wax mug will sit in Tussaud's next to other politicians who've reached across the racial divide, like South Africa's de Klerk and Venezuela's Chavez.
Bush's undying efforts to solve the problems of the environment such as greenhouse gases, waste of resources and social ills such as consumerism and consumer debt have been solved by his complete destruction of international trade and debt financing. Companies cannot get loans, so their factories are closing, making Kyoto achievable.
Even though prices of liquid carbon fuels have returned to below-normal levels, the stuff cannot be delivered because of 4-score Somali pirates on the Horn of Africa. International mistrust is at such a high, no Western country wants to take the blame for another international fiasco like Iraq or Afghanistan, so the oil barons have to fend for themselves. Perhaps Blackwater would like to give the Indian Ocean a try. See? Bush is promoting private initiative and job creation again! Brilliant. Crazy like a fox.
By saddling the US with a 12 trillion dollar deficit he has emasculated the US as a world power and put it in hock to its biggest importers of goods, China, Japan and the Middle East oily kings.
I can forsee a solution to the political troubles in the Levant, like, real soon, or else the plug will be pulled and the Pentagon and Homeland Security will be sh**ting in the dark.
Now, if only more people would lose their homes because of the nationalised banks' refusal to make loans, then there will be less electricity and gas consumed. People will go back to the wild, eating roots and wading for fish. Bush will have taken some of us back to the wild idyll of the Iron Age. Imagine the documentaries. History does indeed repeat itself.
Bush for President of the world! Totally.

Bush the War President
-This is MAGIC! I am not worthy. Some quotes:
"What George W. Bush loved best about his job was being a war president. Playing war, that is, as opposed to making war like a grown-up. Remember him strutting onto that carrier in his little flight jacket? You never saw Eisenhower, a real general, playing out his martial fantasies this way. You can take the drink out of the drunk, but you can't take the swagger out of a fool."
"Reagan and Bush senior were cautious about betting America's chips. Liberals used to make fun of Reagan for picking on tiny helpless nations that couldn't fight back. Now they are remembering with pure nostalgia Reagan's invasion of Grenada, air raids on Libya, and even our 1984 withdrawal from Beirut." [don't forget mighty Panama- Cos67]
"Those came courtesy of Cheney and his neocon punks. What a crew these guys were! Like their boss, they were also woofers, boasters -- but of a different variety. Dubya was your standard frat boy loudmouth,
but Cheney, with his talk about "working the dark side," was more like the ultimate Dungeons and Dragons nerd. And you couldn't ask Hollywood to serve up a goofier selection of dorks than his neocon staffers, who drifted from the universities to D.C. the way has-been pop singers switch to country and western to leech off a new bunch of suckers."
"So we poured American blood and treasure into the Iraqi dust to prove the half-baked theories of a bunch of tenth-rate professors. The most expensive experiment in the history of the world, all to learn something any 10-year-old could have told them: people don't take to foreign troops on their streets, and not everybody wants to be like us. You know those Ig-Nobel awards they hand out to the dumbest science projects of the year? The Iraq invasion is the all-time winner. Retire the trophy with the names of the winning team: Bush, Cheney, Kristol, Wolfowitz, Feith."
"The campaign went so well, so fast, that it taught Bush and Cheney the wrong lessons. They started exporting democracy to Afghanistan, even hiring a local Pashtun girl to read the Kabul evening news. When you tell a big, backwards tribe like the Pashtun that you're going to turn their whole world upside down for them, you shouldn't expect them to be grateful. But we did, setting ourselves up for a whole lot of trouble later on." [it would be like them asking for a burka to be put on the statue of liberty, er, modesty- Cos67]

"You can spin Iraq a hundred different ways, but it still comes up bad news because once the dust settles, the Iranians are in control of the whole region, and they didn't have to fire a shot. We destroyed their old rival for them."
"We know a little about the enemy now, and there's less violence because all the neighborhoods had already been ethnically cleansed. Baghdad is now a Shi'ite city. There are a few Sunni enclaves, but the Shia rule the city and the country, with the Kurds fortifying themselves up north and wishing they could saw their territory off and relocate it somewhere in mid-ocean.
That's what Bush's trillion-dollar investment in Iraq has bought. Meanwhile, if you look at the rest of the world map, you get a real shock. Regions like Latin America and Central Asia that eight years ago were American protectorates in all but name have turned against us while we were distracted with Iraq." [NOW who's the scary alien?- Cos67]
