1. It's true - bushie doesn't like to read

Paul McCartney Makes Fun Of George W. Bush, Praises Obama At White House Concert
(snip)
McCartney, 67, left no question about how he felt about Obama, telling the president that in tough times, "You have billions of us who are rooting for you and we know you are going to come through."

Later, after the TV cameras had left, he expressed appreciation for the Library of Congress and added a zinger: "After the last eight years, it's great to have a president who knows what a library is."


Meanwhile back at home in his fake ranchette bravado, the former White House resident brags about torture:

Bush's Glib Waterboarding Admission Sparks Outrage
George W. Bush's casual acknowledgment Wednesday that he had Khalid Sheikh Mohammed waterboarded -- and would do it again -- has horrified some former military and intelligence officials who argue that the former president doesn't seem to understand the gravity of what he is admitting.

Waterboarding, a form of controlled drowning, is "unequivocably torture", said retired Brigadier General David R. Irvine, a former strategic intelligence officer who taught prisoner of war interrogation and military law for 18 years.

"As a nation, we have historically prosecuted it as such, going back to the time of the Spanish-American War," Irvine said. "Moreover, it cannot be demonstrated that any use of waterboarding by U.S. personnel in recent years has saved a single American life."

Irvine told the Huffington Post that Bush doesn't appreciate how much harm his countenancing of torture has done to his country.


That guy Bush is an ass-wipe who had no business leading this country. :mad:

Sir Paul McCartney's cheap shot aimed at former President George W. Bush at a White House event on Wednesday has prompted House Minority Leader John Boehner to demand an apology from the Beatle.


Maybe Laura Bush should apologize also

8. Post your suggested apology here...I'll go first.
"I apologize for pointing out the fact that your former President was so stupid that he probably doesn't even know what a library is. Sorry for stating the obvious, Congressman."

5. "Yeah, We Waterboarded": Still Dubya After All These Years

"Yeah, We Waterboarded": Still Dubya After All These Years

You've heard, no doubt, that the Pride of Preston Hollow—former president, governor and international war criminal George W. Bush—"joined" Facebook, as the term of art would have it, on Wednesday morning. (Thrill to the experience here.)

As far as I can tell, damn near every news outlet and blogger in these United States had taken notice of this auspicious event within the space of a few hours. Bush on Facebook: Talk about newsworthy! And wait, there was more—he might be on Twitter too! (Not so, it turns out, but a couple of fake Twitter accounts were good for a few thousand more posts and stories.)

Never mind that the PR minions who put up the Facebook page—clearly designed to garner free advance buzz for W's upcoming memoir—made no attempt to even pretend like the man was actually typing his own entries. (I'll grant you: That would have been newsworthy). Never mind that the two entries so far are written in the third-person, with all the charm and intimacy of a Wikipedia entry. Never mind any of that. When I checked the thing at 10:30 p.m. Thursday, 105,486 virtual human beings had already made known that they "like this." (Not all, of course, like him; "What is a War Criminal doing with an internets connection?" one "fan" wrote.)


What is a War Criminal doing with an Internet connection? Good one! :evilgrin:

10. "Twist Dick Cheney's Nipples with Needle-Nose Pliers"
