"George Bush doesn't care about black people" is the greatest live TV moment ever, so that.

i'd like to speak up on the behalf of terry schaivo.

SHE STILL CAN SMILE PEOPLE.

i'm voting cheney gun bukake tho.

how are you defining greatness here?

Mission Accomplished defines the whole 8 years.

i think i'm voting colin powell, but where is, you know, Florida?

no measure of historical or otherwise "objective" greatness required here, more of a "this is my favorite moment that sums up the GREATEST PRESIDENCY EVER"-type evaluation.

my vote went to Colbert cuz I just noticed they included the transcript of that speech in his book and I had forgotten how totally brutal it was.

gabbneb Florida is in the southeast corner of the US.

x-post

Schiavo gets my vote. Has Bill Frist finished examining her yet? He's got plenty of time now.

Sorry, guys, but Florida is not in the U.S.

Wow. Wow, what an honor. The White House correspondents' dinner. To actually sit here, at the same table with my hero, George W. Bush, to be this close to the man. I feel like I'm dreaming. Somebody pinch me. You know what? I'm a pretty sound sleeper -- that may not be enough. Somebody shoot me in the face. Is he really not here tonight? Dammit. The one guy who could have helped.

I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound -- with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world.

Florida is also technically BEFORE he became president - not so much a part of his presidency, more like a pre-game show.

The Abu Graibh exclusion I can't really justify tho, that was just oversight.

katherine harris should have been an option.

also: "I don't have anthrax"

A bald eagle is gonna cry if no one votes for 9/11

anthrax is option no. 2 morbz

Florida is, you know, responsible for his entire presidency. speaking of which, where is "Ralph Nader"?

huh? what does Nader have to do with anything?

oh yeah, "pantywaist Dems playing blame game," def

BROWNIE

^^^omg how could we forget.

or does that fall under 'katrina'?

yeah I'd say it does, but "heckuva job Brownie" is a better title for that particular option

"I'm the decider in chief"

Results 1 - 3 of 3 for "I'm the decider in chief"

Mission Accomplished is a metaphor for the entire debacle.

By 9/11, we are including the disregarding of the "Bin Laden seeks to hit American targets" memo right?

so what did everyone do with their $300 tax rebate anyway? My dad donated it to charity. I think I bought a bunch of weed and comic books (gotta do my part to keep the industry afloat!)

yeah 9/11 encompasses the whole event including the lead-up and the subsequent commission, Flight 93 TV movie, etc.

Where's KYOTO PROTOCOL DROP OUT?

I voted for the Saddam cell phone video because at the time it just seemed like the most easily avoidable fuckup imaginable.

I voted "Cheney shooting guy in the face" for the base reason that if it hadn't happened, it would be entirely unbelievable.

we didn't drop out of the Kyoto Protocol, we were never signatories in the first place (thanks to Bubba Clinton)

Gore signed it symbolically, for whatever that was worth.

why isn't the end an option? WHY?!

there is no end

sung to the tune of...Cheney's gotta gun...gonna have some fun...

I don't remember that one...?

In the Rumsfeld (sp?) resigning press conference: whole thing was great, he was like a cornered burro.

guys election /= presidency

well see that's the way it was for the most part for 200 years

What abt "I'M THUMPIN'!!!"?

I thought it was, "We got a thumpin'," referring to the GOP loss in Congress last year.

Maybe that's why no one understands my reference, ever.

It's my own personal "spicy chicken, bitch."

no gabbneb I meant that presidency is what comes AFTER the election. The election itself is not part of Dubya's glorious reign, it was the preamble.

try to keep up.

loool

"try to keep up."

the election itself was the first, poisonous brick of the whole stinking castle

ONE YEAR TO GO FFS LOCK THREAD

i mean seriously, he has FIFTEEN MONTHS left to do something that trumps all this shit.

IRAN

There's still plenty of time for a "Donations of Alexandria" equivalent.

Yeah, btwn the economy souring and Iran, the next year is going to be an...interesting one.

not to mention the weather. Fuck, there's still another hurricane season to go before Bush's exit (and even his "exit" being contingent on elections not being suspended or some such insanity)

I will miss "Great Moments in Presidential Speeches" on Letterman. Every single night, amazingly, a different hilarious gaff.

guys where is the poetry of rumsfeld

The Unknown
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

In the absence of Abu Graib, I'm voting Guantanamo.

With the $300 tax rebate, I bought a plane ticket to catch Radiohead on the last date of their tour.

Also I would have liked to have seen a choice in this poll for "I'm a uniter, not a divider".

Check out this hilarious endorsement of Dubya from 1999 containing this nugget of wisdom:

Over the past year, Bush's speaking style has become noticeably more passionate. His war chest is larger than those of his opponents, and his poll numbers are strong, so he appears to be a formidable front-runner for the Republican nomination for president.

His WAR CHEST?? *head spins*

war chest is standard politics/business speak, dummy

Ever heard of irony, dipshit?

gotta be cheney shooting that guy in the face - that's the one that does the most hermetic work as an image, the way that got the old guy to say, from his hospital bed with his face full of shot, that it was really his fault? sort of a little in-vivo koan of the admin's values.

of course it's kind of a failure of the political imagination to try and boil down seven years of failed domestic & foreign policy to a "what was the WORST?" sorta deal, "the worst" is taking an unprecedented surplus of money & int'l goodwill and parlaying it into crippling dead and worldwide embarassment, but that doesn't make for lulz, just depression

haha "crippling debt" I mean, what the fuck

yeah getting the shot-in-the-face dude to baldly come out and say "yeah man i fucked up" is really the underrated aspect of that shit.

heck of a job, shakey

srsly kudos

you forgot the bit where in 20 years historians suddenly decide he's the greatest president ever

In 20 years? Jenna Bush will be president by then.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
