Does Bu$h have one single redeeming quality?
I cannot find one single thing I admire about the little phony. Friends say to me, "oh c'mon John you just don't like the guy and you're being too critical". I just don't see it. Help me out here.

6. I can't see one...
I really, really can't. He reminds me of the clueless Bourbon kings in the waning days of the French aristocracy; deliberate ignorance at the plight of the subjects.

8. He has the ability to paint a poop into being a Porsche.
Edited on Thu Apr-07-05 07:41 PM by nytemare
I suppose it comes in handy to politicians, especially if all you have to sell is poop.

He was really meant to sell cars.

on edit, is this redeeming?

10. No, he has no redeeming qualities... none, zip, zero, zilch
With many people I can at least say "Well, they don't spit on the floor." I do not believe that to be true of the sociopath.

I am a reasonably nice person who can generally have some positive feelings and empathy for most people.

Not the Chimp or Ann Coulter.

He's ignorant. He's arrogant. He's a LOUSY businessman. His grammar SUCKS enough to fill 2? 3? books (Bushisms), he looks like a fool...the way he walks, UGH! He looks like a total fucking idiot when he laughs. There's absolutely NOTHING about that man that I like. NOTHING.

18. When Michael Moore was asked that question
his reply was, "He's kind to his dogs." But since I've never seen it myself (unscripted and off camera, that is), I remain unconvinced.

31. He has taken two losers like Condi and Pickles off the streets. That
should count for something, shouldn't it?

On Edit: I will double that.Add two more vicious losers,Rumsfeld and Cheney.

39. I think he is less racist than the rest of the Republican party (faint
praise)

I can't imagine any other Republicans appointing blacks to positions of National Security Advisor and Secretary of State.

Even if he did throw most of the foreign policy decision-making power to Cheney and Rumsfeld.

40. One redeeming quality?
How fast did you want your post to sink to the last page? :rofl:

One redeeming quality? I am glad this is not an exam. I know there has got to be something.

I think I could only find a redeeming quality if I was one of the benefactors of his inner circle.

Sorry, can't think of one.

49. his dogs and cat are cute
Mind you, they keep well away from him (have Barney, Miss Beazley, or India ever come when he calls them?).

Oh, and he claims to like reading mystery novels. I don't know whether this is true or not (I am fully prepared to ask him a few questions about, say, Kinky Friedman's books). But I will credit him with some taste in carrying-around literature.

51. He Pissed Off Christian Base With Africa Aids Pledge
The $15 bil. pledge to fight AIDS in Africa pissed off the religious right. That is commendable even if his purely politcal motives were not.
