QotD: Bush’s Bio
Posted December 10th, 2003 @ 02:42pm by Erik J. Barzeski
Question: If you were to write George W. Bush's whitehouse.gov bio (see the previous entry on Clinton's), what would the first sentence say?
My Answer: "After stealing the oval office in a controversial recount, "Dubya's" largest achievement in his single term in office was barely holding together the country, fractioned by those who saw him as a blithering idiot and those who argued 'we should just go along with him because it's not patriotic to disagree with those you (don't actually) elect."
I tried to write a serious one, but I simply couldn't do it. I've quite honestly yet to hear any single "good" thing from the past couple of years. Granted, I don't pay much attention, but the fact remains: all I've heard has been "bad." Less privacy. Far-reaching new laws that do more to threaten the rights of law-minded citizens than terrorists (who don't abide by U.S. laws, duh). Etc.
As I said in an IM today, "I thought I was a Republican until he came into office."

As of right now, typing "miserable failure" in google and pressing I'm feeling lucky leads to GWB's bio on whitehouse.gov.

If Google says it, it simply must be...

That miserable failure search is hilarious. Especially on my computer because his picture actually popped up before the text or the graphics.
Also, I totally agree with your sentiment about Bush making you reconsider your stance as Republican. I've felt the same way, but I think that it really is just Bush's personality to suck at this and that both democrats and republicans have and will likely continue to have bad officers representing their parties.
