George Bush is an amalgam of every guy I hated in high school.

[Kid_A]

He's a cocky, over-priveleged, stupid, asshole with a rich daddy, and he never had to work for anything he got, he brazenly ignores the rules and always gets away with it, and I hate him.

That is all.

1. You feel that way too?

That is exactly what I thought the moment I first laid eyes on him. I kept praying for a Gore victory in 2000 and was mad at how petty the Republicans were being when we needed to get this straightened out.

2. Wrong, bush is a man of the people. Just like you and me. <Sarcasm>

Didn't you get $50 million to start your own company after you graduated from Yale?

3. Oh yeah I forgot.

I suppose that is why I am doing so well right now. NOT!!!!!!!!

4. When he was younger he had that look in his eyes that said:

"I can do whatever the fuck I want and you can't do a damn thing about it because my dad used to be President." There were dozens of guys like that in my high school, except their fathers were lawyers and doctors instead of presidents.

That look has been replaced partly by a look that says "THIS is how the world works? Holy shit, can I quit?", but the old arrogant one is still there, and it comes out every now and then.

9. RIGHT! Sometimes we see the powerful cognitive dissonance emerge

when "I can do whatever I want" comes up against "Holy shit! I'm in way over my head." That's when you see the strained smirk or the faked swagger, and hear the ridiculous malapropisms. I think sometimes they've got him on some pretty powerful psychotropics, I dunno.

5. Sometimes . . .

. . . those HS assholes eventually grow up and become decent people. Not so in W's case.

6. George Bush is an amalgam of just about ever guy I

beat the shit out of in high school!

7. Can you beat the shit out of *?

for me? ;)

8. And it appears that he is stuck at that mental, moral & emotional age too

[Generic Other]

10. And a cheerleader to boot!

YUCK.

11. Right on, Kid_A

I never understood the Bush "likability" meme. I would hear it from fellow liberals and leftists too. It's amazing. I'll raise you one. Not only is he every guy I hated in high school, I think he might just represent EVERYTHING I hate, generally. He's anti-intellectual, lazy, cowardly, arrogant, completely devoid of compassion, and has a royal sense of entitlement. Can someone come up with a negative human trait that this guy doesn't have? I haven't been able to.

12. Heh, that's just a cover

He's really an alien lizard.

[ibegurpard]

13. That's why I hated him BEFORE he became President

Now I hate him EVEN MORE because of his pandering to the extreme right-wing and acting as if he had some huge mandate.

15. The irony of your post count at 911

To declare a loathing for bush with 911 posts to your name.. geez,
if you wait 3 days without posting, you'll be 911 on 911 insulting
the cause of 911.

Bush is an incarnate demon. He is preparing the earth for his
demon army from the underworld. You think i'm joking.

17. He's the playground bully in grade school

Always mocking people who believe in work and fair play.
