My friend Chris in Sweden just said this about W:
"From a purely personal point of view I can't help feeling a bit sorry for Bush: without his class background and the informal social safety net that follows with it, he would be complete nobody: an alcoholic, cocaine-sniffing, unemployed white trailer trash bum... He really should be placed in a decent rest-home for incapacitated people..."



:rofl:

5. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
oh wait

is that funny?

I guess it is

it seems so, 2004 though :shrug:

but the Swedes, they are such an unprogressive bunch what with their liberal views and their universal health care.

But they don't understand how we elected a joke like Bush, now that guy would be funny, if he weren't running this country into the ground.

:D

9. Nothing funny about it, he's right....
... which is a sad - but true - condemnation of our "system".

14. I think he's wrong.
If it weren't for the silver spoon, * might have had to work for a living. He might have learned some manners or self-discipline, and come to care for his fellow citizens.

It's precisely the money that made him into the lazy, incurious maladroit he is today.

13. He'd be in jail if not for Daddy. Or dead in Viet Nam.
Cocaine convictions, repeat DUIs, insider trading (then again, he wouldn't have been in a position to inside trade if not for Daddy), and no telling what else.

His first act as governor of Texas was to change his and Laura's drivers license numbers. When this leaked out, he claimed that it was standard procedure, for security measures. No further explanation. It of course is not standard procedure, and no other governor had ever done it. The press treated it as a curiosity but let it go.

In Texas (probably other places, too) your criminal record is traceable through your drivers license number even if your arrests and convictions have been wiped from your court records. He did it to hide something--at least the cocaine conviction, and maybe more.

So your friend is right. He'd never have accomplished anything without Daddy, wouldn't be free without Daddy, and given his chemical addictions and his draft dodging, he quite possibly wouldn't have made it to 40 without Daddy.

15. I'm not sure I appreciate the "trailer trash" reference ...
implying that people who live in trailers are somehow "trash", lowlifes like our prez. Most people who live in trailers do not wage expensive and pointless war, resulting in record national deficits.

Perhaps Bush will build a nice rest-home in Paraguay.
:hi:

16. Obviously he hates America.
However, for having him as a friend, you're off to Gitmo. Buh-bye, traitorous friend of Swedes! :rofl:
