Give Bush Credit: The List
Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 9:43 AM by GottaLaff 2 Comments and 0 Reactions

Paddy posted about ClusterFox’s Gretchen Carlson’s debut of a new acronym, GBC: “Give Bush Credit.” Isn’t she just the cleverest? And here we thought her blonditude meant she was dumb. Well, she sure showed us!

In fact, she’s given us just the opening we needed to jump on the GBC bandwagon.

Walt and HarborGuy had a thing or two to say about this in Comments. I’ll combine their lists into one, and then please, feel free to add to it in Comments:

GBC for ignoring threats that led to 9/11.
GBC for giving FOX News just the right catalyst (9/11) to exploit using fear and paranoia brainwashing millions of Americans for political and monetary gains.
GBC for squandering a surplus by giving tax breaks to the rich that led to rich getting richer… and nothing else.
GBC for falling for Osama Bin Ladin’s trap and going to war creating the ultimate quagmire that has done too much damage to list.
GBC for showing us a Commander-in-Chief could outdo the mismanaging of a war like Vietnam.
GBC for signing the Republican Medicare Plan D (which was a giveaway to the Pharmaceutical Companies) without paying for it.

But in fairness, the crowning achievement of Bush's 8 years was The Do Not Call List.

1. Give Bush Credit for Hurricane Katrina

Barack Obama isn't the only one who can fill a stadium. Republicans can fill a stadium, too!

7. GBC for gutting FEMA and putting an idiot in charge of it.

2. GBC for demonstrating WHAT INEPTNESS, IGNORANCE, ARROGANCE

LOOKS LIKE IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR 8 YEARS

He is a very good model we should avoid like the plague

3. And the Do Not Call List wasn't even necessary in my state.

We already had one!

Therefore, Bush crowned no achievement in my book.

4. Also, I bet The Do Not Call List was used by the CIA wiretapping database. n/t

5. For allowing his oil buddies to joy ride in a Nuclear Submarine which

resulted in the deaths of sixteen Japanese students. For single handedly overruling an act of Congress on the issue of Presidential papers. On using RNC servers for official e-mail coraspondence against Presidential Papers Act and then LIEING about it. The list is pretty much endless.

6. They forgot to give * credit for the foresight to "un-sign" the US from the ICC, which Clinton

signed in Dec. of 2000.
