I might be persuaded to forgive if you apologize and promise to never vote for monkey for president again.
Nice choice of words!!

Might think it's the 57th.........

Bush went from a slightly better than average president to one of the best ever thanks to that mouth breathing, window licking, knuckle dragger we have now...

My opinion of Bush was always high but the dignity and class he has shown since leaving office has given me cause to admire him even more.

If one is completely fixated on what the media feeds you...his entire legacy is encapsulated in the Iraq WMD debacle, the slow response to Katrina and the blame for the economic metldown.
I'll give you this, its -- he did do some nice things on the side. Had he not invaded Iraq and had he focused our defense resources on getting Al Qaeda in more effective and efficient way, I'd probably think of him about the same as I do his dad .. I think his dad was a pretty good president. I'm not a Republican, but as Republicans go, not bad.

As it is though, Iraq was such a monumental blunder -- and one that is almost 100 percent attributable to his administration -- that it colors everything else. That war will go down in history as one of America's biggest missteps.

Yes, I was of the opinion that Bush should spend life in prison for violating the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and several other treaties, but now my opinion is that he should be given the death penalty.

Opining...
