A humorous look at the Bush administration's top "accomplishments."

::::::::

10). Bush has managed to do what even Bill and Hillary could never hope to do: he has destroyed the Republican Party.

9). Rather than soak the rich through tax hikes he simply bankrupted the country so everyone is poor.

8). Dubya’s close identification with private retirement accounts virtually ensures no politician will ever try to privatize Social Security again.

7). G.W.B. is likely to be the last white guy from a backward southern state to make it to the Oval Office for a long time.

6). Bush has managed to turn Clinton fatigue into Clinton nostalgia. Filegate, Pardongate, Travelgate, Monicagate, & Hillarycare. Ah . . . those were the days!

5). Bush’s flight suit photo-op antics makes Michael Dukakis look like Patton in comparison.



4). Hey, it’s only poetic justice for Bush himself to do more than anyone else to overturn Bush vs. Gore in the eyes of History.

3). After three recessions and four wars under two George Bushes we can be damn well sure the country will never elect another George Bush again.

2). Bush’s malapropisms, the so-called Bushisms, represent some of the greatest political humor ever conceived.

1). Bush managed to fuse elements of Elizabethan tragedy and vaudevillian farce. It’s like having Adam Sandler play King Lear. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I can’t stop watching.
