A little bit of love to George W. Bush

I didn't agree with many of his policies, but I have to give him props for comparing today's events to a banana republic. As horrifying as today's events are, I thoroughly enjoyed his metaphor.

HE wanted to turn this into a banana republic.

He did a whole lot worse. His legacy of human and economic devastation in an unnecessary war lives on today. He bankrupted the country leaving it to Obama to fix. He put all his daddy's cronies in office. He ignored the warnings of 9/11. Don't get me started about that stupid son of a bitch. Oh and he also fell off his bike and his segue.

It’s going to take more than a 15 second sound bite for me to reevaluate that dumbass.

I don't agree with his politics either, but I like his metaphor also.
