Joseph R. writes in to us with the following retort after we refer to George W. Bush as stupid:
Do me a favor please…fly a freakin’ fighter jet, graduate from Yale, run SEVERAL multi-billion dollar businesses, serve a few years as governor of one of the largest states in the Union, own part of a major league baseball team and sell it for a huge profit, serve a term as President of the United States (aka the most powerful man in the world), then get yourself RE-ELECTED to a second term after all the “enlightened” ones in the media say you “stole” the last election, and then once your second term is up, go make millions of dollars on the public speaking circuit (which is what all the presidents do). THEN when you’ve done all that, maybe I’ll take anything you have about President Bush’s intelligence seriously.
What do you say to Joseph?
Joseph left out “get yourself a rich daddy from an oil family dynasty.”
I like what Anne Richards said about our boy:
“Poor George. He can’t help it – he was born with a silver foot in his mouth.”
And on a more serious note, I’m sure the children of Iraq have something to say about Bush’s genius.
RED DAVE
What did Bush really do?
He posed in the cockpit of a jet.
He didn’t do any class work at Yale.
He ran several multi million dollar companies INTO THE GROUND AND BANKRUPTCY.
He was caretaker of a team, a franchise that even idiots have made money with. And he has not so much “served” as “President” as “dis-served”, trashing the Constitution, suspending the rule of law, ruling by decree all while violating US criminal codes which prescribe a penality of death. He’s accomplished little but with LOTS of help from folks eagerly lined up to sell their souls.
“Do me a favor please…fly a freakin’ fighter jet, graduate from Yale, run SEVERAL multi-billion dollar businesses, serve a few years as governor of one of the largest states in the Union, own part of a major league baseball team and sell it for a huge profit, serve a term as President of the United States (aka the most powerful man in the world), then get yourself RE-ELECTED to a second term after all the “enlightened†ones in the media say you “stole†the last election, and then once your second term is up, go make millions of dollars on the public speaking circuit (which is what all the presidents do). THEN when you’ve done all that, maybe I’ll take anything you have about President Bush’s intelligence seriously.”
It doesn’t take a genius to: fly a freakin’ fighter jet, pay one’s way into Yale, run several multi-million dollar businesses if you’re probably being told what to do and are a businessman by education, actually do a better job as a Governor than as a President, own part of a major-league baseball team and sell it for profit (again, he has an MBA), serve as President if there’s a lot of things pointing to the possibility that an election was rigged and that 27% of the public is nuts and the rest of the people who voted for him were lied to, steal the last election, and get paid because you’re president.
Businessmen are not good presidents
Bush’s life, from cradle to second presidency, was arranged for him by other people.
Were he anyone else’s son, he’d be a retail middle manager. At best.
Anonymous – you’re a complete idiot if you actually think that way, and besides that, no one cares whether or not you take anybody’s comments here seriously.
Bush is the worst excuse for a president this country has ever had as far as i’m concerned – and i don’t care what you think!
Noticeably lacking is the qualification of having killed hundreds of thousands of human beings.
And no, that being the case, I doubt I will ever qualify.
