"George W. Bush, not only the worst president ever but also the worst president of presidents...including leaders of your PTA and neighborhood block watches." – Chris Rock

Ha Bob! I love it. But sadly, the subtext is that most 'Mericuns would probably prefer to be informed this way.

You broke every promise you ever made, spent all our money like there was no tomorrow, leaving me and my kids to pay the debt. And all the while you smiled and smirked like you had a perfect right to do as you did. If you'd been my husband, I coulda dumped you seven and a half years ago like you deserved, but as my President I've been stuck with you. Thank God you are Laura's problem soon, and not mine.

You should have been impeached your first term in office along with your VP. That you were not betrays the corruption of our entire ruling political class.

(rated)

Since we freely and fairly elected you eight years ago with a clear margin of victory, you've done nothing but let us down. Instead of protecting America and its ideals, all your sorry ass has done is travel around blathering about global warming and electric cars.

You may have won an Oscar and a Nobel, but I never see you in the oval office actually doing your damn job! You just defer to that idiotic wannabe cowboy staffer of yours. Al Gore, you're a horrible excuse for a president.

George, you believe the Constitution is something with which you can wipe your butt. Your presidency, stolen as it was, because it was the only way you could "win," nearly destroyed the country. And tell me ... are you drinking again? Because that's the only excuse I can come up with for all the boneheaded, horrifically stupid things you've done in the last eight years. Unless you really are just that morally bereft and ethically stunted. You can't just call yourself a Christian, you know. You actually have to practice it, you stupid dumbass piece of dirt. Not that you would know a Christian if you sent one to be shot in Iraq. .... oh wait.

Tell me, will Cheney be returning to the evil pit whence he came, from where you called him with that pact with the devil or is part of your punishment that he gets to take you hunting every week, and you have to walk in front of him?

Good one, Edgar!!

You sir, are the living embodiment and prime example of why we need to change to a parliamentary democracy. And perhaps pitch the electoral college also. And add a COMPETENCY test to the short list of requirements for being our president. You've screwed so many things up so thoroughly it is breathtaking. I don't know how you can possibly sleep well at night without chemical aids, and I wish for you a long lifetime of watching what you have wrought upon your country unfold in all its sick glory. No positive aspect to a legacy for you sir, none whatsoever.





.

You lost me the day you said, "We're going to get those folks who did this to us", the morning of 911. Our Scottish friends called us after they heard it with a WTF?

Folks are people you invite over to a barbeque..not people who have just caused the deaths of over 3000 Americans.

You were appointed by Fat Tony and The Supremes, NOT elected... after a month-long vacation in August of 2001 to rehearse, you spent 9/11/01 reading "My Pet Goat" while Cheney and Bush41 oversaw the attacks that day. You couldn't be bothered to appear under oath before the 9/11/ Cover-up Commission. You invaded Iraq although millions and millions of people including the Pope and your own father begged you not to do so. You wiped your ass with the Constitution and Bill Of Rights and seemed as happy as fuck to see the United States sink to the level of a third-world military dictatorship replete with "disappearances," secret prisons and miserable torture. Thanks to Diebold you remained in office in 2004. Miraculously, Nancy "Not On The Table" Pelosi determined that she couldn't be bothered to impeach you. You allowed Dick Cheney to assume powers NEVER intended by the Framers for the Vice President. And you happened to be holding the reins as the US economy, house of cards that it was, collapsed on your watch, leaving you looking impotent, foolish and stupid. You are, WITHOUT QUESTION, the WORST President in the history of the United States and arguably one of the worst leaders in modern history.

It's not so bad, George.
Here, have a pretzel.

You lied us into war, you robbed the treasury blind, and you've left the country in shambles. I'd say that you should have been a produce manager at Safeway, but I don't want to insult all of the hard-working, honest, and intelligent produce dudes.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

I won't list the whole thing here, but dubya - you broke damn near every amendment and most certainly every intent the composers and signers of this document had. If it had been China doing what you did, dubya, this country would be calling for sanctions against them for human rights violations.
I feel most sorry for your parents - they have to admit you're theirs. I at least can say I didn't vote for you either time.

Listen here, Cowboy: you and your partners in crime have fucked up every single part of America. Because of you, we are mired in a war without end. Because of you, our grandchildren's children will still be paying off your selfish greedy debt. Because of you, the entire world hates us and no doubt is growing new terrorists as we speak. Because of you, we're the first generation to be worse off than our parents. Because of you, our country is horribly divided.

I hope that plundering America was worth it for you and your good ol' boys, you greedy prick. History will not be kind to you. I am counting the days until you and your ilk are out of control of this country. Thank God for term limits. I'll be so glad to see your sorry ass go.

The fact of the matter is, Mr. Bush, people hate you enough to be united by it.

Now, stand among the rubble and look at what you've done.

In your hubris you have waged war based on a trumped up threat, and because of that thousands have died on all sides. Thus, you are a murderer and a criminal. You have violated our privacy as well as our lives. In order to finance your mass homicide, you have put this country so far into the red that we may have no means to recover - all the while supporting policies that lined the pockets of the wealthy minority (many your buddies, your Cronies, need I say Exxon or Haliburton) and watched this country's financial institutions fall into a nightmare of deregulatory ruin.

You have angered a nation out of their complacency, made them wake up and realize the razor's edge we are balanced on, made them realize before it is too late (I hope) that there is a chance for change - and for that, I thank you.

You inherited a country generally as at peace as it could be in a dangerous world. You inherited a country with a budget surplus--our first in God knows how many years. And now look at the Stock Market--it's all OVER the freeaking place, but mostly headed down for the past month! I guess we can be glad of ONE thing; you didn't manage to privatize Social Security. What made you think that would EVER be a good idea?????!!!

You'll leave office having lied to the country and the world to start a war we absolutely did not need over weapons that weren't there. When you lie to start a war, how can we ever be sure you're telling us the truth--about anything? What would ever be important enough to wrest the truth and the whole truth from you?

Oh, by the way, DON'T start a war and then start lecturing everyone ELSE about "Creating A Culture of Life." it's absolute Macacca.

You placed personal loyalty above a demonstrable ability for presidentially appointed jobs. And you chose mind bogglingly inappropriate and incompetent people to fill them. "Heckuva Job Brownie" was just the most egregious of them, and demonstrated why incompetence at a high level can COST LIVES.

"Darth Dick" Cheney. Says it all really, doesn't it?
Donald Rumsfeld--Again, no explanation necessary.

The Clinton's had Whitewater. But you and Cheney had Blackwater--a far more egregious lawbreaking.

Abu Ghraib and Gitmo. Torture and extraordinary rendition. Thanks for a legacy that will blacken America's name and made a mockery of our stated values for generations. The harm you did will be incredibly hard to undo.

YOU A**HOLE!!! I can't wait until I never have to hear your HORRIBLE LITTLE VOICE EVER AGAIN!

CALL MAD COMICS! Someone stole Alfred E. Newman and made him the freakin' PRESIDENT!

You made the candidacy of Sarah Palin possible. You must be so proud.

Oh, Lonnie - a laugh amidst all this anger and frustration :-)

Inflexibly bungling ignoramic lout,
but other wise very nice........

You once said that you were not worried about what history would say about your presidency because "we'll all be dead by then." Here comes history, W. and it looks like you will still be around to hear all about yourself.

Loser.

(Thank you, Bob!)

George, ole boy, you make me embarrassed to be a Texan and an American. And that takes some doin'.

p.s. Laura, what WERE you thinking?

There are those who say it's all been said before; maybe they are right.

"I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

GWB's legacy. I hope not.

New Rule - the next member of the Bush administration that says "I do not recall" while under oath at a congressional hearing gets waterboarded until either they damn well remember something or they just start making random confessions.

*sigh* Honestly, I just have Bush fatigue. Mr. Bush, please leave. Just go. Oh, and Cheney... how does it feel to be such an abject failure? You had such grand plans for establishing in imperial presence in the middle east. You've been at this for decades. How does it feel to know you botched it up so badly that an appeasing liberal like Obama has a good shot at normalizing relations with the very region you sought to subjugate? Does it suck to be you? Yeah? Good.

Dear President Bush,

I hear that you like to take vacations to recharge your batteries, as it were, so after all the effort of the last 8 years' worth of misadventures, may I suggest that you consider a visit to the Hague next spring? It's rather a pleasant city with a fine, ah, hotel, to provide accommodations for a statesman of your caliber.

Doubtless Henry Kissinger will advise you to avoid foreign travel, especially Spain, but really, what does he know now that he only ever goes to China?

Yours etc.,

The Great Unwashed

Thanks Bob. This may not help the Stock Market at all, but it sure is cathartic. =o)

Laura, You know that new house you bought in Houston or Dallas or wherever? If you're smart, you WON'T give George the keys. Let him keep clearing brush in Crawford--if there's any left, by now. It's the only thing besides catching fish that he's remotely good at. You've been wearing the same demure smile for eight years while George W. Bush in his enthusiastic, deadly combination of arrogance, incompetence and ignorance, did more damage to this country than the Visigoths. It's time to relax your face muscles and get your true opinions out of the blind trust where you placed them eight years ago. C'mon, tell us what you REALLy think of the mess your husband made of the country and how you're stuck with his legacy, too. A good rant will be healthy for you too, I'm betting. Try it, some time. It's really liberating.

thank you, mr. eckstein.

mr. bush,

on behalf of the 100s of 1000s of men, women and children killed in the iraq war: have you no shame?

mr. cheney,

i'll be at your funeral with a sign that reads, "god hates dicks." wait for it.

thank you, mr. eckstein.

mr. eckstein,

sorry for the double post. i guess each w. term deserves its own post...

I would love to give George a big fat "F" grade for the last eight years, but I'm afraid that would mean he'd have to repeat it.

George, in recognition of your eight long years in service to the United States as President and Commander-in-Chief.... here, have a pretzel.

Dick Cheney-- you're all heart (attack). Please don't shoot me in the face.

Donald Rumsfeld-- We hardly knew ya. There were things we knew and things we didn't know. Things we didn't know we knew and things we knew we didn't know. And things we should have known but didn't know we needed to know. And things we know that we wish we hadn't known. And things we know that we wish we didn't have to know. And things we could have known if we had known what you knew but didn't think we needed to know. And things we will know we know or don't know after a couple of decades of study learning how to parse your fucked-up sentences.

John Ashcroft-- I hope the eagle soars and poops on your little pin-head.

Colin Powell -- We thought you had more integrity than that. But if you'll come back, we'll forgive you.

Condi Rice -- You're free to be with your husband now and forever. BTW, does Laura know?

Karl Rove -- "Turd Blossom". Wow. What a nickname he gave you. It fits though, it really does.

To Bush, Cheney and everybody who made the Bush admonistration so immensely enjoyable-- you're destined for the anals of history.

The Bush admonistration -- on the back it says "Made in China"

“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” -- George W Bush

George, Cheney and your all-star cast of mustachioed-villains, you are free now to go to your great reward. And I, and probably lots of others, are sincerely hoping its an all-expenses paid lifetime vacation at Gitmo, where you'll get to spend the rest of your days enjoying the tropical atmosphere, quiet and solitude, afternoons waterboarding and other pleasurable tortures, evenings spent studying the bible (or whatever else you want your one book to be), and those sensuous nighttime rendezvous with the guards. (You're gonna love those broomstick handles!) The best part is, without Habeas Corpus, the fun never has to stop! (What a brilliant stroke on your part, eh?) And don't worry about the rest of us, we'll be doing fine-- without you.

Dear ex-president Bush (you deserve the title "ex" instead of "former"),

Congratulations on being the worst president by presiding of 3 of the worst tragedies in American history: 9/11, the war in Iraq, and the economic crisis of '08. And this doesn't even include never catching Osama bin Laden, watching as Katrina destroyed New Orleans, the innocent days of Enron, overriding the Constition. Your father should be very proud of you.

Gov Bush ,I call you govener because you where never legaly elected President. The day you where conceved old bug eyed Barb should have done this country a favor and just swallowed. The best part of you ran down you daddys leganaway Bo

So..did we all learn our lesson? A candidate that sounds dumber than you is NOT good presidential material. Please don't repeat this time.

Also a special shoutout to Rush and all the cookie cutter conservative shows...If you could only listen to 8 years of your shows replayed over and over and over...

"to bring opposing sides together" I suspect that it will have to get a lot worse.
An older (80 +/) friend observed, "During the Depression, nobody had anything and everyone shared. Nowadays people have more than they need and nobody shares."

Bravo! Bravo! You've destroyed the economy, trod upon the masses, threatened the health and safety of your minions, ran roughshod on those that dared question you, home and abroad, ransacked the Treasury, destroyed the confidence of your brethren. In short, a brilliant job!

- Omar al-Bashir, Sudan

First, I'd like to congratulate Mr. Eckstein on combining two things I despise into one cartoon! Second, (this isn't really venting but) speaking of Mr. Bush, am I the only one who's still nervous that he remains in the White House? If I may, for a moment, get my conspiracy on, I can't help but be afraid that some October surprise will cause The Evil Dick and his side kick George to declair Martial Law and postpone the election indefinitely. I know it's nutty, but I won't even begin to rest easy until Senator Obama is sworn in.

Is it even necessary to count the ways we despise this dolt at this point? It's kind of anti-climactic. Just go Mr. Bush. Don't wait for accolades or applause or some wild send-off. Just go.

First, I feel sorry for Bush, I really do. I can't help it. I'm a therapist, and I'm empathetic, and I can't stop thinking about what it must be like for him to read all this vitriol and condemnation.

That being said: I cannot count the times during your ill-begotten terms that I have said "America is better than this." The invasion of Iraq and the allowance of torture spring immediately to mind. We are the country that was created because other countries pulled this kind of shit. We had values, and ideals, and a philosophy that we should play well with others, and be generous to those who have less. And this is what you've turned us into. Again, I say, America is better than this.
