Bill Maher pointed out last Spring that, while a lot of presidents have sucked in their own way, George W. Bush is a veritable "smorgasbord of suck." Bush combines the warmongering of James Polk, the incompetence of Franklin Pierce, the corruption of Warren Harding, the inflexibility of Herbert Hoover and the naked lust for power of Richard Nixon in one neat, tidy, inarticulate package.
So, here is the question: What has he done right?
I come up with two things:
He let the Brady Law expire, but since that was more he didn't have to do anything, it's hard to say he did something.
He persuaded Libya to give up nuclear weapons.
That's all I have.
I don't accept that he persuaded North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program, for all he did was get back on track with what Clinton did after Bush derailed it. So that counts more as one of the few times in his life that Bush has fixed one of his fuckups.
So, what has Bush done right?

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
He handed both houses of Congress to the Dems in '06.
ReplyDeleteI think that the judges will rule that that comes under the heading of "unintended consequences" rather than an actual accomplishment of Digustus Maximus.
ReplyDeleteHell, if you're having a contest of what any president has done right, that's been a mighty short list for the past 50 years.
ReplyDeleteBobg, indeed, you are correct. But since the Chimpster is the current inmate at 1600 Penna Ave., I'm talking about him for now.
