"Bush's 6-Pack is a Can Short" (Sierra Times)
Bush's 6-Pack is a Can Short
Jim Moore

President Bush has mistakenly taken on the mantel of liar, cheater, deceiver, dictator, even traitor.

I say mistakenly because I now believe that Bush is none of these things. Oh sure, he’s a lousy president. Perhaps the worst president in American history. But I am convinced it is a totally erroneous assessment of this president to attach to him labels of purposeful harm, intentional mean-spiritedness, or inherent evil.

The contrivance that opened my mind to alternative possibilities about Bush’s performance in and out of the White House came to me in a most unexpected and parochial way: namely a 2006 calendar of George W. Bushisms; each day offering inane utterances during his presidency, and not a few from before that.

After flipping a few pages of the calendar, the light dawned and I realized for the first time that President Bush is not evil, not mean, not crazy not ill-intentioned, and surely not dictatorial.

President George W. Bush is not to be blamed. He simply has a can missing from his six-pack; a screw loose. In short, Bush is an intellectual zero; a closet dunce. Whether or not this makes him dangerous depends on how far into space you believe this man’s think-piece has gone. That it has gone somewhere cannot be denied.

5. I think he's** rather stupid,
but also any person who can raise his fist in the air and energetically declare "" Feels Good!" when he is about to order the bombing of a major city which will surely result in thousands of deaths and injuries is,in my opinion, evil. and mean. and a true psychopath.
