The Bush legacy. The presidancy that history will remember, just as Clinton's will forever be tainted by Lewinsky... just the "high" points:
1. the fact that he was installed, without a proper recount.
2. he spent more than a third of his years as POTUS on vacation.
3. 7.5 minutes staring at "My Pet Goat" when, for all we knew, the nation was about to be nuked... AND allowing the Bin Laedan family to leave the US without even questioning them.
4. The lies about WMD, and yellowcake uranium.
a) the slideshow "joke" looking for WMD under the rug, which was played out in front of a press dinner, with several Iraq widows in attendance.
b) changing the "reason" for the Iraq invasion at least three times.
c) Deliberately feeding Powell fake intel of "portable anthrax units" for his address to the UN.
5. Outing the wistleblower's (Wilson's) wife (V. Plame) to the press, and endangering both her, her work, and all the people she made regular contact with. He also did this during a time of war, which is considered treason.
6. Torture.
a) waterboarding
b) electrified scrotums
c) releasing dogs on restrained prisoners
d) there now seems to be evidence that at least three prisoners have been killed while incarcerated at Abu Graib, under US troop control... and the records were covered up.
7. Setting up of Gitmo.
8. Special renditions to overseas black prisons... more torture.
9. "Mission Accomplished" (then denying that his staff set up the photo op, claiming it was the crew of the carrier who hung the banner... patently false, since the carrier has no print shop capable of making one.)
10. Total lack of respponse to Katrina. (Heck of a job, Brownie!)
11. Illegal, unconstitutional wire tapping, and tracking of all phone calls within the US.
12. Halliburton, no bid contracts.
13. Cronyisim
14. Firing US attorneys according to political affiliation.
15. Doubling the national debt. $9.9 trillion, and counting.
16. Increasing the size of government, and making OHS one of the biggest buracracies in history.
17. Denial of global warming.
18. Cutting veteran's benefits in a time of war.... six times.
19. Still no body armor, or armor for humvees.
20. Swiftboating a 12 year old over the S-Chip program.
21. His detestable address to the UN, where he claimed, "You're either with us, or with the terrorists."
22. Using FBI opratives to attempt to "rough up" Cindy Sheehan, a gold star mother protesting that her son was sent into a quagmire over a lie.
23. Gutting hebeas corpus, the basis for the Constitution, and a basic standard of freedom since it was established in the mid 1200's a.d..
24. Several attempts to load the Supreme Court with arch conservatives.
25. Deliberately lying about the Anthrax attacks being linked to Iraq.
26. Deliberately lying, and manufacturing of "evidence" that there ever was a link between Al Queida, and Iraq.
26. Permanent tax cuts for those earing over a quarter of a million a year, while families below that end up paying more.
27. His "ownership society" legislation, making it easier for lower income people to get mortgage loans... at the sub prime level.... which of course, has led to the current foreclosure crisis.
28.- 50. etc., etc., etc....
Maybe he can work a few of those into his address. If he keeps to pattern, he'll show up at Monday night's convention floor, and present McCain with a belated birthday cake... while Gustave bears down on New Orleans... LOL! (Let them eat cake!)
