From Bill Press at THE HILL:
[...] I do not hate George W. Bush. But I still disagree with most of his policies, I still think he was a mediocre president — and I’m not going to change my mind just because he’s out there trying to sell a self-serving book.
Hey, kids, my hand is still being a pain in the…hand, but our buddy and fellow Raisinette, Tengrain, had a challenge over at Mock, Paper, Scissors that I couldn’t resist. I didn’t overexert myself. I just took some old posters and put them in the template of Chimpy’s Decision Points (because he’s the Deciderer). Make sure to check out all the dust covers at MPS. They’re hilarious!
No matter what smiley face he tries to put on his presidency, this is still the same man …
Who turned a huge budget surplus into a record deficit in order to give millionaires and multimillionaires an unearned tax cut;
who presided over the biggest expansion of federal government since FDR, without paying for it;
whose economic policies put this country in a tailspin and destroyed the life savings of millions of Americans;
who told a pack of lies in order to build support for his invasion of Iraq; and …
who put John Roberts and Samuel Alito on the Supreme Court.
He’s still the worse and least successful president of our lifetime.
Ha!
Is that second one a still from an old Dennis the Menace episode?
Inquiring minds want to know…
Regards,
Tengrain
yes it is. it was originally posted here. and how embarrassed
am i now that i just realized that i had already posted the pix from 2 days ago over here? i went to photobucket instead of searching the raisin, so i didn’t realize that that post was a rerun of a rerun. (but scroll down anyway in the original post, because it has one of my favorite pix at the end.)
Who cares if it’s rerun rerun, it’s frickin’ awesome awesome!
aww, thanks terry. i made a new pic for tonight, but i’m regretting it now. ouch!
Interesting take for the first one, as W is the least intellectually curious person I have ever seen.
To me, nothing can beat a pretzel for cover of that book…
I was sure Laura or Dick hit him when that pretzel story came out.
I’ve since learned that consuming alcohol for 10+ years permanently damages the cerebellum, and even dry drunks can just spontaneously fall because the brain misfires.
i just figured he choked, because he was drunk. and that pickles smacked him around afterward.
d’oh!! of should i say d’ough!!! a pretzel didn’t even occur to me, but that would have been perfect!
Or maybe too twisted.
I made myself a gift today after thinking about it for a few days:
http://upsideofinertia.wordpress.com/2010/11/11/decisions-points/
I think the image of a smashed car crunched up against a tree would also fit. And best of all, either W. or Laura could be the driver.
and the country would have been squished between the car and the tree.
I love the inCurious George! When was that first posted?
that was back in january 2008. it was the second pic in that post. then in march of 2009, i was back on my incurious george kick when he announced the book.
I certainly don’t miss George W. Bush. It amazes me that many conservatives refuse to acknowledge his mistakes.
i miss certain things–like shoes flying at his head.
I miss waiting to see if he’d be able to utter one complete grammatically correct sentence. Good times.
and the invention of words, though princess sarah and her word salads have made that loss a bit easier to bear.
Peeance freeance!
Omg, that’s my ultimate fave.
then that’s what you shall have.
The choir of angels sound fx played in my head.
that sound was the whooshing of shoes as the members of the angel choir threw them at chimpy.
The shoes flying by his head missed him, too.
too bad. they might have kicked some sense into him.
He was nimble that day.
makes me think he’s had practice dodging shoes. was babs chucking loafers at teenaged chimpy when she wasn’t shoving jarred fetuses in his face, or did pickles throw stilettos at him before she took her daily valium?
Remember, George H.W. was a baseball player at Yale. I’m sure he had good aim and George W. learned young how to duck.
i think poppy might have been too busy with his mistress to bother with little georgie. i think babs took it out on georgie by flinging her orthopedic shoes at him.
I still miss that they missed. . .
Oh poop I’m getting all missty now.
♪ look at he,
there’s just no one
quite as hapless
as chimpy…♫
The last poster with the inverted phone and the tag designating “right hand” sums it all up rather nicely. We know that if he had written this book himself, it would have been in crayon.
and if princess had ghost-written it, it would have been scribbled on his palm. i cleaned up a couple of the pix a little bit, but i wish i had added a great big booger on his finger in that last one.
I just had an epiphany. He’s not actually smarter than her. He just has smarter friends.
not friends, handlers. i don’t think he has very many actual friends.
Bush plays the role of a buffoon but i hope we do not forget that he is a diabolical war criminal who has, for the present, escaped any serious inquiry into his evil actions.
i don’t think he’s playing a role. i think he really is a buffoon. he was a useful buffoon, though, for a bunch of war criminals, and i don’t think he really cared as long as he got to be preznit. therefore, he’s just as guilty as the rest of them. if he wants to be the puppet preznit, then he should be the puppet defendant in a war crimes trial.
Yea! And send him to puppet jail!!!!!
and throw away the strings. can you imagine this imbecile on his own?
Just put him on a jar.
He could have just been the Enron/America was attacked on his watch President/launch war based on cherry-picked bullshit President. But he went for it all. Torture President. Fuck Habeas Corpus, Wiretap without a Warrant, Read Folks Mail without a Warrant President. Katrina President. Housing Bubble President. Outsource the Military to your friends President. Destroy the Economy President.
The man is a shit magnet.
he’s like capt underpants. he wanted to prove that he’s just as good or better than his daddy and/or granddaddy, and he’d do anything to do that. he thought fighting a war would be just the thing. screw everyone else.
What writechic said. to the ten times tens.
This world criminal said his history wouldn’t be written for fifty years; but what they’ll write is just what writechic wrote. . . oh and throw in destroyed the middle class, president.
and teabagger president george herbert walker pierce bush VIII will pardon him for all his war crimes.
I swung by MPS….. some great stuff there.
Still, I wish the guy were behind bars… all this would be a whole lot more enjoyable.
mps is lots of fun. it’s my newest daily stop.
Someone left a comment on MPS about friends of theirs moving the Bu$h tome to the Crime/Fiction section of the bookstore. How funny and appropriate.
the scissorheads are quite smart and funny, just like the raisinettes.
The worst thing about the shoe incident was I had to quit using my favorite description-he doesn’t have enough sense to get out of the way!
there’s a difference between sense and instinct. he had the instinct to duck, but if it was a matter of thinking, he would have a loafer sticking out of his ear.
