George W. Bush as Caligua ... a powerful and dangerous psychotic
-snip-

Caligula, the schizophrenic by-product of an influential Roman family grew up in a wealthy decadent world steeped in generations of treachery and political intrigue. Considered the most morally and ethically corrupt emperor ever to rule the great Roman empire 37-41 A.D. Caligula will always be distinguished in the collective memory of humanity as a murderous monster. History records an individual consumed by his lust for power and a need to satisfy aberrant sexual desires. Caligula took sadistic pleasure in exercising his judgment of life and death over other human beings, executing them slowly whenever possible.

George W. Bush, the schizophrenic by-product of an influential American family grew up in a wealthy decadent world steeped in generations of treachery and political intrigue. Considered the most morally and ethically bankrupt President ever to rule the great American empire, Bush will be distinguished prominently in the collective memory of humanity as a greedy and corrupt war monger and war profiteer.

1. Indeed.
History repeating itself again. Parallels to Hitler, Caligula and others shouldn't be poo-poo'ed away as if they are the only examples of this behavior that human-kind has to offer.

3. Asskroft covers breasts and bush is afraid of horses

It's more like a prude mama's boy version of Caligula.

4. Bush has no sense of history
When asked what history would think of him, he is said to have answered, "What difference does it make? We'll all be dead."

I'm hoping that remark was made by someone totally ignorant of history and not because he's planning to help along the Second Coming.

6. I must agree with you, P.
I've also read comparisons with Alexander the "great", Philip of Macedonia, Hitler, Napoleon, Saddam, the Taliban and so on.

Seems like Ole George has good company.
