This has actually occurred to me before now. Dredging through some of the infamous Bushisms reveals that while there were indeed a lot of head-slappingly stupid moments in his career - such as the time he fell off the famously untippable Segway scooter, because he failed to recognise a green smiley face meant 'on', or in 2007 when he got behind the wheel of a giant tractor and rode it around like a joyriding teenager, laughing as he sent reporters scattering for their lives - much of what he said and did seemed a little too crafted. It was almost like he was playing the audience. I'm not saying he wasn't an idiot; personally, I wouldn't trust him with anything larger than a pair of safety scissors and a box of glitter, let alone a country. And I'd want him supervised with the scissors.

Don't get me wrong, I love America and it's rambunctious history - and besides, exactly the same meme poster could be made for Oz:

CRUCIFIES HER
lols as they say on these intertoobz.
How about
ELECTS FIRST FEMALE PRIME MINISTER
IMMEDIATELY REGRETS IT
for us here in this septic isle?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
