Challenge: Say something positive about GWB (or 'damn w/ faint praise' contest)

[Bossy Monkey]

Why? Just to see if it's possible for people with brain to do so. I'm composing this on the fly; I seriously doubt if I can come up with ten items to put on the poll (but trust me that I won't resort to saying anything that could remotely be construed as actually positive).

Assuming this receives any replies (apart from the WTF kind) before its plummet to the archives, I will try to put them on.

[OneBlueSky]

1. hasn't shot anyone in the face with a shotgun . . . at least that I know of . . . n/t

.

[Radical Activist]

56. exactly what I was thinking before I saw yours. lol

[LynzM]

2. He's probably less evil than the Khmer Rouge.

Probably. Yet to be determined.

[Lerkfish]

8. I'm going to lean in the direction of saying Khmer Rouge never lied

they were upfront about what was going to happen to the intellectuals.

(me = no expert on history, though)

[BlueStateBlue]

3. Barney's very cute.

Poor baby.

[Lerkfish]

4. for someone who is afraid of horses and military service

he still manages to be a chickenhawk horse's ass!

:)

[KamaAina]

5. He's the best doggone brush clearer in the Lone Star State!

:P

[AndyA]

6. He hasn't taken a crap on his wife, (literally),

unlike one of his fellow Republicans (Sen. "Macacca" Allen)

:rofl:

[WinkyDink]

55. And you know this how? !

[Hugin]

7. *crickets*

*chirp... chirp...*

[Bossy Monkey]

37. I put this on the poll, since it's certainly the most appropriate response

given what a useless fraud Dubya is

[Hugin]

40. ... and I voted for it!

:)

[hippiechick]

9. He'll be "Former President Bush" - just like his daddy - real soon!

[blm]

16. He has an elaborate collection of COSTUMES.

[phoebe]

17. * has unwittingly shown us what concentrated power in the hands of

the few will mean to the rest of the country and the world. He has made visible a picture of the world that the majority of us have no wish to see come into being while also motivating many to take steps to prevent his ideals from taking shape. There will be many more who, having just now woken up, will take whatever small steps they can to see that his "dream" for the world will not materialize.

[Systematic Chaos]

18. As * himself said about the Czech (I think) leader a while back:

"You know what? He's a real piece of work, that's what he is! Isn't that right *?"

As the poor guy stood there and mumbled "mmmkay"....

Please don't flame if I don't have the details exactly right, but I know I heard the actual quotes on Malloy, and I also know it was about a year ago, or more. :)

[Bossy Monkey]

33. Wow! I missed that one. I'd put it on the poll, but I'm not sure how widely known this is

"I was going to say he's a piece of work, but that might not translate too well. Is that all right, if I call you a 'piece of work'?"—To Jean-Claude Juncker, prime minister of Luxembourg, Washington, D.C., June 20, 2005

30. He usually holds his liquor pretty well, most mornings and

afternoons, anyway.

[Ikonoklast]

31. He doesn't drool on himself

near as much as he used to when coked up.

And I don't hate him as much as I would a person that would set fire to kittens.

[Bossy Monkey]

He put firecrackers up frogs' butts. I think it's a fair bet that he would have

also set fire to kittens if there was a way not to get caught. (Blame Neil, say.)

[Vinca]

32. He's one helluva brush cutter - even though he uses

a toy chainsaw.

[Blue_In_AK]

to become much more politically aware and active than I have been for years. Thank you, GW.

I went from someone fairly ambivelent about politics and voted across party lines (when I voted) to someone who officially joined a political party and spends as much of my time as possible talking to people about the Democrat agenda of making life better for my community and the country as a whole.

yet.
