It's easy to like Shrub now

[Laura PourMeADrink]

He's the affable guest on all the media now.

He and Laura like B + M.

He obviously hates Trump.

But until he can tell me he was serially sedated to allow Cheney to make up a fake war where hundreds of thousands died.....he is a war criminal.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

1. No ifs. He's a war criminal! I'll always hate his fucking guts.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. Me too - enough to come up with two DU names that excoriate/demean him. And Trump, so

far hasn't killed anyone, I don't think.

I do feel for the thousands who slept well on the night of T's address to Congress, thinking he would moderate, thinking their families would be safe here.....Only to find out the next day he was just playing everyone.

Ok - that is nothing compared to all the people who died.

So far, I guess, Bush ahead in infamy

2. I still hate him

[MFM008]

3. What did they say

"lovable drunk Uncle"?................................still a war criminal.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. He's no better than he ever was. He's just not as horrible as Trump,

who, if he's not a war criminal now, has plenty of potential to become one. The bar is now so low that it's underground. But no, I don't like Bush any more now than I ever did.

7. He was out there defending the Iraq war like nothing changed

Just a couple days ago.

[Renew Deal]

6. He acknowledged that "Mission Accomplished" was at least a "faux pas"

Don't remember if it is the first time, but I was surprised.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. I used to think he was a dimwit - but all you have to do is watch some tapes of him as

Governor to dispel that. But, then there's the drinking. Wonder how much, and when that affected him.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. He seemed to gradually get dumber throughout his presidency.

He was never what you'd call a rocket scientist, but when he was governor he was a good deal more coherent than he was by 2008. Maybe it was the booze. Trump, OTOH, started out incoherent and deranged, even without liquor, and I do not expect to see any improvement.

[Renew Deal]

17. I think he was burned out, especially after Katrina.

And he still had 3 years to go.

[pscot]

8. Not really

[southerncrone]

9. Horrifying, isnt' it?!! This is how far down a hole this country has fallen. We are being

psychologically raped. I think I'm beginning to understand how hostages end up w/Stockholm Syndrome.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. True Dat. Can't believe we are really hanging on McCain's every word. Wouldn't it be cool to

truly know what the majority of Republicans in the Senate and House are saying/thinking behind the scenes.

[Charles Bukowski]

10. Bush was scum and (until Trump dethrones him)

the worst president in history.

Keep in mind that he considered "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" the low point of his presidency.

Not 9/11.
Not Iraq and Afghanistan.
Not the Financial Meltdown and Great Recession.
Not Abu Ghraib.
And finally, not Hurricane Katrina itself, which left over 1,800 dead.

Kanye implied he was racist on TV. That was rock bottom for him.

That's something Trump would say, and it raises my blood pressure to this very day just thinking about it. Fuck George W Bush! I'll never forgive him for the trainwreck he left behind.

[tavernier]

12. No.

Funny drunken uncle doesn't excuse the fact that so many died, including children.

[Doreen]

13. I disliked Reagan the most and I would rather have him.

[scheming daemons]

14. All that said... I would pay real cash to have him as President now instead of Trump

Trump is an existential threat to humanity. That's not hyperbole.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Yes. The people before were confined to horrific, specific acts. He is a total loose

cannon. How will we even survive 4 years? Oh please, sane Republicans, step up.
