Bush was a lot like Wall Street
When Bush was first elected, I thought it was the financial elite saying "fuck you" to the rest of us by humiliating us by appointing the dregs of their gene pool as the public leader of America.

After seeing the Wall Street collapse and demand for bail outs, I now realize that Bush is probably not the dregs but a representative specimen with perhaps bad manners and a grammar impairment.

Like Wall Street, he created nothing, only scammed, destroyed, shuffled money to his friends and gave working people the check for repairs in the form of more debt.

We would probably be better off if both were neutered.

1. That is a very good synopsis...
I think that I have to agree with you and I think your suggested solution is the only way to deal with the problem. I do think however, that many of these people need to spend some time in jail and/or prison. I really think that we should put the banksters in gitmo. That would be a productive use of that property.

:evilgrin:
