George W. Bush: the lowest moment of his presidency
Can you guess what it is?
Is it having 9/11 on his watch, especially after disregarding Richard Clarke's warnings about al Qaeda?
Is it lying to American people to invade and occupy a country that posed no threat to us?
Is it the rendition and torturing of detainees?
Is it the trillions of dollars lost in the sands of the middle east?
Is it the collapse of the economy on his watch and due to his neglect?
Is it the thousands of people left dead and homeless on the Gulf Coast because the warnings about the levees were ignored and the federal response was inexcusably late and poorly handled?
Amazingly enough, none of that is what Bush considers the worst moment of his presidency. His worst moment is below the jump:

Seriously.
George Bush, still thin-skinned as ever, is still stewing of Kanye West

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."

Not sure how that registers as "scandalous"
which seems to be how they feel about it.
Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

Yeah.. no place on the Econ spreadsheet for that list, eh?
I could almost see voting for Palin in 2012 on the grounds that this sorry ratfucking excuse for a republic, this savage, smirking, predatory empire deserves her. Bring on the Rapture, motherfuckers!

Sure, how dare he feel the way he feels...he should only
be allowed to feel the way you feel...lest he be a really bad man.
Your hero Clinton felt everyone's pain...so he's just as guilty, then, right?

the word "scandalous"
appears NOWHERE in the source story. It is pointing out how absolutely fucking CLUELESS Shrub was, is, and forever will be.

How does that make him clueless?
You don't have to like anything about the man..but to take his >feeling< and apply this analysis is...um...just as fucking stupid as you think he is.
Plain enough for you?

Interesting...
as it has little to do with defense and everything to do with idiocy, which you seem to support.
To each their own.

I never supported Shrub and his idiocy

Quelle suprise!
(rough tranlation from french..."what a shocker"...
Regardless of your position on his policies, direction, choices of cabinet/running mates, decisions in office, etc...
this bit about "amazingly" he doesn't >feel< like he's supposed to from a blogger...is just plain stupid on their part...not his.
So, as gump would say, stupid is as stupid does.
