A historical perspective: Dubya was a complete failure

Fucking liberal, ivory tower, progressive, biased, deluded, egghead wankers!


Btw, the encroachment of conservative Christianity on government and popular culture happened a few decades earlier than you remember it, TGAC.

I'm not surprised that Reagan didn't make the top ten. Perhaps his coming in at 18th reflects some bias in the thinking of these scholars, as well as the rather strange and motley crew of traits to rank the president on. ("I was going to vote for Willard Fillmore, but he's not as creative as that other guy.") And that Kennedy even made the top ten at one time is another strike against the list.

For what it's worth, I think this vastly underestimates Bush's positive qualities. He was a very effective leader, and managed to accomplish many of his and his party's goals. If he had been an ineffective president, like a Carter or Ford or his father before him, then liberals would not still be pissing in their beer over his presidency. I may loathe his policies and what he did while in office, but I don't deny him the credit he deserves for being a capable and accomplished president, even if we'll spend the next 20 years trying to undo everything that he did.
