A Smorgasbord of Suck

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?
