  RESUME

  GEORGE W. BUSH

  1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

  Washington, DC 20520

  EXPERIENCE

  Criminal Record:

  I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for DUI. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record is 'lost'. The rest of my legal records are in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view.

  Military:

  I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer questions about my drug use. Joining the Texas Air National Guard, I avoided combat duty in Vietnam.

  College:

  I graduated from Yale University with a low C. I was a cheerleader.

  EMPLOYMENT

  I ran for U.S. Congress and lost.

  I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find oil. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold my stock.

  I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.

  With help from of my father and oil industry friends (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.

  ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR

  I changed pollution laws to favor power and oil companies; making Texas the most polluted state in the Union. Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America.

  I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury.

  I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history.

  With the help of my brother, Florida's governor, and my father's Supreme Court appointmentees to the Supreme Court, I became President, after losing by over 500,000 votes.

  ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT

  I am the first U.S. President in history inaugurated with a criminal record.

  I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.

  I spent the U.S. surplus and bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.

  I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.

  I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.

  I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.

  I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market. In my first year, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs. That trend continues.

  My cabinet members are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My 'poorest millionaire,' Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.

  I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President.

  I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for the most corporate campaign donations.

  My largest lifetime campaign contributor Kenneth Lay presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. history.

  My party used Enron jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.

  I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Lewinsky affair than investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history. I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when oil industry corruption was revealed.

  I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.

  I changed U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be government contractors.

  I appointed more convicted criminals to my administration than any President in U.S. history.

  I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in U.S. history.

  I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history.

  I'm the first U.S. President in history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.

  I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law.

  I refused inspectors access to U.S. 'prisoner of war' detainees and thereby refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.

  I am the first President in history to refuse UN election inspectors (2002 US election).

  I set the record for fewest Presidential press conferences since the advent of television.

  I set the all-time record for most vacation days in any one-year period. After taking off all of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.

  I garnered the most sympathy ever for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.

  I hold the all-time record for most simultaneous protesters against me in public venues worldwide (15 million), representing the most protests against any person in human history.

  I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. Citizens and the world community.

  I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families.

  In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq and blamed the lies on our British allies.

  I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.

  I support development of a nuclear 'Tactical Bunker Buster,' a WMD.
