Dryden Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:14:21 +0000 http://www.ginandtacos.com/?p=1248#comment-13435 Bush, after his less-than-1%-election victory, announcing his intention to pursue Social Security privatization: "I have political capital, and I intend to spend it." Starts with a shoddy, if not downright false premise, exaggerated to achieve relevance, and then uses it as an excuse/justification for a poorly conceived and horribly executed decision, splitting his party in the process. A hat trick of masterful proportions, and quintessentially "Dubya."

It was during the run-up to the Iraq War, after the UN inspectors reported their 400th consecutive investigation of a suspicious site that turned up nothing. A spokescritter (White House? Pentagon? I forget) came out and said that the fact that the inspectors haven't found any evidence of WMDs just shows how dangerous Saddam's WMD program was, because he's putting such enormous efforts into keeping it hidden. At that moment I knew that we were going to war no matter what, that all the "evidence" was bullshit, that the crazies were now in charge, and that this was going to be a generation-spanning disaster.

That last video is awfully damning...but I'd rather see similar damning material from W. OBL will be taken Dead or Alive Bring it On Mission Accomplished Imminent threat of Mushroom Cloud My Pet Goat Harriet Miers As awful as these 8 years have been, and assuming we actually recover... what still nauseates me is that ~50% of the voting public wanted him back a second time. And >20% of the population approves of the job he did. Other than appointing John Roberts (whose appointment Obama voted against, but gave reasons), I can't think of a single other act of W that had a positive result, or whose intent was a positive result <I>for the country</I>. I watched a clip from his "welcome home" rally in Texas, and I have an immediate, visceral response to his arrogant, frat-boy, lying, cheating, attitude. But what bothers me most isn't the attitude or the actions. It's that he *won*. You know, it just seems so grossly offensive that this catastrophe had a better 8 years than me. I'm a good, smart, hard-working person who empathizes and acts with virtue. He's none of those things. You just want someone like that to get their comeuppance, and he didn't. I'm still looking.
