If there were any justice in the world, George W Bush would be sitting ...

[kentuck]

in jail. He has been a criminal since childhood. He has gotten away with criminal acts and misdeeds all his life because of his name. He should have been in jail for his shady dealings with his Harken stock trades. Then there was the baseball stadium, which he got about $14 million for...And then he lied to the American people and led our nation into a war where more than 800 troops have died thus far. He was a spoiled child and he is a spoiled adult. He has never had to suffer any consequences for his actions. Not for his alcoholism. No tfor his cocaine use. Not for his driving record. Not for going AWOL from the TANG....He is not like the average American.

1. I agree, but there really isn't any consistant form of justice.

2. I think he's destined for a cell somewhere.

But think about it. He's not just a relatively unknown rich kid any more. He will be hounded by the press from now on. Everything he does in public or within camera range will get published in the tabloids. Every time he screws up inquiring minds are gonna know. He may even wish for a cell after awhile.

3. On the brighter side

he is everything I expected of him. He is quite possibly the straw that breaks the camels back. Never before has the democratic party been so focused. It takes real bad to inspire real good. George Bush is the worst president in my life time. He has reversed everything the republican party stood for. Rinos are jumping ship like rats off a sinking ship, (how appropriate). NOTE to shrubco, Keep up the good work. Coming soon to a news outlet near you,The 9-11 report,results of the Plame investigation, More bad employment news, rehashed data from the terrorism dept: not 300 dead 600 DEAD.} The bad news has no end Bush* will loose.

4. I lived thru the Nixon years,

and I lived thru the Reagan years, and I thought THEY were lousy Presidents, but SHRUB takes the cake! He's NOTHING you'd want in a President, and less.

5. This is what is meant by the term "privileged class"...

...Our Bill of Rights claims that the United States of America shall have no class structure, that "...all men are created equal". But as mature, grown-up adults, it seems that some are created more equal than others! Want to read more about special privileged classes in the New Amerika? Here is an editorial from earlier this year in the NY Times. It's not that long so I'll paste the whole thing.

The Other America
Economic Boom?

OP-ED COLUMNIST
Either the president doesn't get it, or he is deliberately ignoring the hard times that have enveloped millions of Americans on his watch.
"For the sake of job growth," said Mr. Bush, to the loud applause of the Congressional bobbleheads at his State of the Union address, "the tax cuts you passed should be made permanent."
Job growth? That's the weirdest thing Mr. Bush has said since he told a CNN discussion group, "As governor of Texas, I have set high standards for our public schools, and I have met those standards."
Nearly 2.5 million jobs have been lost since Mr. Bush became president, and the most recent employment statistics have made a mockery of the claim that tax cuts for the rich would be the engine of job growth for the middle and working classes.
Two days after the speech, Eastman Kodak announced plans to cut its work force by as much as 23 percent — 12,000 to 15,000 jobs — by the end of 2006. The news sent tremors through Rochester, where Kodak has its headquarters. More than 21,000 Kodak workers and their families live in and around Rochester.
The economy created a meager 1,000 jobs in December. Moreover, according to a report released Wednesday by the Economic Policy Institute, there has been a nationwide shift of jobs from higher-paying to lower-paying industries. In New Hampshire, where the Democratic presidential candidates are locked in a fierce primary fight, the wages in industries gaining jobs are 35 percent lower than in those losing jobs. New Hampshire is one of 30 states that have fewer jobs now than when the recession officially ended in November 2001.
When millions of families are suffering in the midst of what is billed as a robust recovery, we should start looking closely at the possibility that the system itself is breaking down.
This goes far beyond the issue of employment. The Times ran a front-page article on Wednesday about Gov. George Pataki's proposed state budget. The ominous subheadline read: "Plan Relies on Gambling to Aid Poorest Schools."
I wrote a story last week about the tens of thousands of low-income youngsters in Florida who are eligible for a children's health insurance program but are being put on waiting lists. State officials say they can't afford to insure the kids now. In California, an estimated 300,000 eligible children are being shunted to similar waiting lists. No one knows when they might get coverage.
President Bush got at least one thing right on Tuesday night, when he said, "Americans are proving once again to be the hardest-working people in the world." Those who are fortunate enough to be employed often have to work long hours, or string together two and three jobs to make ends meet. They are working harder and harder just to keep from falling behind.
The Bush administration has offered up a perverse acknowledgment of this struggle: a proposed change in Labor Department regulations that would enable employers to deny overtime pay for millions of workers.
Most of the Democratic presidential candidates, especially Senator John Edwards, have been hammering at these issues for some time. In his "Two Americas" speech, Senator Edwards says there is:
"One America that does the work, another America that reaps the reward. One America that pays the taxes, another America that gets the tax breaks. . . . One America — middle-class America — whose needs Washington has long forgotten. Another America — narrow-interest America — whose every wish is Washington's command."
The interests of the great corporations and the wealthy, privileged classes are not the same as those of American working families. And because the power of government has shifted so radically in favor of the interests of the former, there is little left but indifference to the needs and aspirations of the latter, who just happen to be the vast majority of Americans.
In Monday's column I incorrectly wrote that treason was among the charges lodged against Daniel Ellsberg in the Pentagon Papers case. He was accused of treason by his critics, but he was actually charged with violations of the Espionage Act.

6. He is not like the average human being

More like Caligula than a Real Person.

More like Hitler than wWashington.

Closer in demeanor and nature to Stalin than Ben Franklin.

He should have been in jail long ago.

If he wasn't a member of the Imperial Family who makes it quite clear that ANYONE who fucks with them will suffer personal, profession or perhaps actual death...he would.

of course, that level of intimidation, backed up by a Thired World Injustice System that would not even TRY to find the murderers of Imperial Family Enemies, is shall we say, priceless to men like Hitler, Stalin, or Bush.

7. I'd like to know how...

he kept from getting his worthless ass kicked when he was a kid? Probably hired the neighborhood bully to keep other kids off 'im.:shrug:
