Is there anything anymore that distinguishes W from a king or dictator?

[Rocknrule]

At this point, Congress is just a formality, and 99% of it is either Republicans or DINOS.

1. well for starters

BU$Hitler is dumber than a box of rocks. Hate to say it, but most past dictators have had at least SOME intelligence.
Oh yeah, and he wasn't elected...twice.

2. Just one thing. Occasionally kings or dictators will surround themselves

with good counsel and influential philosophers and artists of all kinds.

Dubya is a brush-clearin' fool.

[troubleinwinter]

8. Laura is installing

golden gilt crown carvings and royal purple velvet draperis in the WH.

No, this is not a joke, either.

10. Royal scepter was my first thought

[DS1]

4. Hitler fought on the front lines, and picked up an Iron Cross

He also built the autobahn. So if you consider the autobahn the internet, and the iron cross the silver star, Hitler was really a mix of Al Gore and John Kerry..

5. No silly hats or crowns. eom

9. Hmmm.......are you sure about that?

Heh!

6. Kings, ideally, had a sense of oblige noblesse.

Kings, ideally, had a sense of oblige noblesse. Dictators usually can speak in cohesive sentences.

7. Well,

...we don't have to bow and curtsy yet when he goes by....do we?

[BrklynLiberal]

11. He isn't wearing a crown and a red cape with ermine edging yet.

At least not in public....

12. I don't believe he has a scepter (nt)

13. Hundred of years ago

leaders who wished to be thought of as "war kings", or warriors, actually led their troops into battle. They did not send the sons and daughters of peasants to fight, the fighting was done by those who held property, or land. Some peasants might have fought, but it was mostly done by the ones who could afford horses and armor.

Any past leader who is thought of as a great warrior, from King Arthur, to Richard the Lionhearted, from Alexander the Great to Julius Caesar, they were on the battlefield themselves. Our cowardly pResident did not serve when he could have, choosing to walk away from his TANG obligations, to now, when he nor any member of his family fight battles, these are things which distinguish him from past kings.

Even Eleanor of Aquitaine, who rode with an army to get her son John out of trouble, rode at the head of an army when she was in her eighties. Bush has delusions of adequacy, and he can't even match what a queen did hundreds of years ago, when she was old.
