The dismal state of George W. Bush

In his last annual speech to Congress, the president used Osama bin Laden to justify Iraq, bravely denounced pork-barrel spending and waxed amnesiac about Iran.

    You misunderestimate him.

    "Bush was, rather, driven by misinformation from within his own government;..."

    Wrong.

    Shrub knew what he was doing and still believes it to be the right thing. Bush isn't stupid, he's smart. He's smart and he's still wrong.

    We can play semanitics all day long, "evil", "stupid", "ignorant", doesn't matter because we can't know his intent except as he chooses to reveal it.

    What we can do, and must do, is judge him by his actions. He led us to war on false pretenses, then had the gall to mismanage that same war a in foolish gambit to annex the majority of the world's oil reserves. He committed multiple felonies by his own admission (FISA). He has exhibited bad faith and dishonesty at every turn during his rule.

    The Congress should impeach this lying sack of shit. Not because he deserves it, for he deserves a frog march to The Hague at best. Nor should The Congress impeach him for political gain. The Congress should impeach our lying sack of shit President because it is their duty and they owe it to any future generations that survive this travesty.
