your reminder that George W. Bush was an uncaring incurious overgrown smirking frat boy who started two pointless wars, ran torture camps and crashed the world's economy, and only a barrel-bottom shit-stain like Donald Trump can make him seem statesmanlike by comparison

1. Tweet of the year!!!

[calimary]

9. At least of the last four years, and another eight years farther back

With an eight-year gap between them.

[SheltieLover]

16. No kidding!

Gawd, what an international embarrassment dubya was, then the other repuke surfaced. Gawd...

[calimary]

18. HAH! It took fucking damn trump to make YOU look better, dubya.

We actually found “Worse-than-YOU”, just eight years later.

[MyOwnPeace]

2. DAMN, ain't THAT the truth!

[YorkRd]

3. It's certainly a race to the bottom trying to rehabilitate Republican legacies. Boehner?

I guess we think we need a rational loyal opposition. Maybe that should be the debate instead of trying to look back on these guys with rose colored glasses.

[agingdem]

8. when was there a rational opposition?

loyal and lock-step but never rational..George Bush was a moronic dolt but Dick Cheney was the power...the only thing Bush did right was disappear...as for that disgusting sot Boehner, his attempt to reinvent himself collapsed with his Trump vote and his Obama is a racist screed..

[calimary]

10. And Boehner wasn't even that effective as Speaker.

He got rolled more than once (MUCH more than once) when he called for a vote on some bill but wound up not having enough votes for passage.

Much has been written and commented upon - regarding strategic Speakership. Such as: you shouldn’t call for a vote if you’re not rock-solid sure you have the votes needed for passage. Boehner got tripped up by that, several times.

As far as I can remember, Nancy Pelosi never has.

4. This seems to be a trend. Makes one wonder about the next Republican president.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. I've suspected for awhile now that rehabbing the Bush name post-Dubya is the prime motivation for...

...for Bush family political operatives coming down so heavily and publicly on Trump, even to the point of whole GOP taking hits. The secondary motivation being to stop the party from drifting so far into Trumpism that there'd be no future in the party for a Bush no matter how spit polished the image.

[The Wizard]

6. The Bush family

helped put Trump in office to clear the family name.

[Blue Owl]

7. What a frightful and sobering thought

[BobTheSubgenius]

11. ALWAYS happy to hear from JT.

His words are spot-on, and either hilarious, or bitterly accurate, or both.

I wonder whose reminder this was.

[tblue37]

12. W is coming out with a book of his paintings of immigrants who have benefited the US.

[Martin Eden]

13. Absolutely! -- all the fond remembrance of GW's "normal" presidency makes me want to VOMIT.

When war criminal Bush left office I wrote a poem for what I'd like to say to his face:

I'd tell you to go fuck yourself
But that is much too kind
If you could perform that feat
You'd take pleasure in your behind

I'd like to say eat shit and die
But you deserve much more
You should suffer all the grief and pain
Of your misbegotten war

Though I could never make you think
Or feel, or understand
I'll take solace when you hear your name
Cursed throughout the land

From inside a lonely prison cell
Dark and bare and cold
Where every day you pay for your crimes
Until you're sick, heartbroken, and old

When you finally leave the earth
You fucked over oh so well
If there is a God and afterlife
You're going straight to hell

[not fooled]

20. I thought chimpy was as low as the GOPee could go

red don proved me wrong.

Your poem also applies to 45.

[Martin Eden]

21. I'll have to write a new poem for Hair Twitler

Maybe alter GW's a liitle here and there.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

14. Why are we always fixing the repubs messes, I wish once they could clean up after themselves

Bush was shining shit stain all on his own and don't anybody ever forget it !

Trump was a whole new level cause he had pirates and thieves at every level of government to enable him and he was just a mean person in general.

[peppertree]

15. The history of the modern GOP in a nutshell

Few say so much in so few words as Jeff Tiedrich does.

[liberalla]

17. Oh! That really is good! The comparison is very accurate to be sure!

[malaise]

19. Perfect

I don't plan to forget - someone should remind Nicole Wallace

[Skittles]

22. THANK YOU

it makes me sick seeing Michelle treat him like a lovable uncle and Biden extending him a "courtesy call"

[Roy Rolling]

23. It's all relative

I stopped complaining about the “hat but no cattle” guy when I saw the guy with no brain *and* no hat.

[tblue37]

25. LOL!

[Ferrets are Cool]

24. No truer words ever typed

[trusty elf]

26. Still waiting for bush and dick's trial in the Hague.....

[trusty elf]

27. Golf? No sir! Prefer prison flog!

[trusty elf]

28. commandments- in- chief

[trusty elf]

29. Greetings from Bush and Dick!

[trusty elf]

30. Ill-suited for the job.

[trusty elf]

31. Bush Meat

[trusty elf]

32. Not just unfit...

[trusty elf]

33. Quel artiste!

[trusty elf]

34. Some disassembly required

[trusty elf]

35. Titanic failure

[trusty elf]

36. Inshrubordination

[erpowers]

37. Yeah, People Need Reminding

I did not watch the Norah O' Donnell interview on 60 minutes, but it seems he is working hard to repair his image. I wonder if he was asked any questions about his time in office. My first guess is that he was not asked about the things he did while in office.
