What do you think?

*NOTE* yes I am aware that I am posting this on DU.

There has to be a BEST, doesn't there?

Uh the no call list thing was nice...so then there is that....


mmm yeah.........

[Midlodemocrat]

1. I think it should be entitled

his least sucky moment in office, but I got nothing.

[Nickster]

2. I'm going to have to agree with the reeling in the Perch moment. That'd

have to be his best moment in office.

[goclark]

6. The Perch Moment would be it for him

Did we get to see a photo of him with his perch?
I don't recall it.

[Nickster]

8. You just need to have faith. Sheesh! He said it was beautiful and 7.5 lbs

why is that not enough confirmation for you? Why do you hate 'Murica???

[goclark]

15. Link to a PERCH website

He is telling lies because if he caught one, he would have us see it in one of his Phony Ops.

Please note --bottom right side at the bottom, the Weight of the BIG one!

As usually, he LIES.

Someone needs to call him on his crap.

[Catchawave]

22. I think I saw it, no, wait....

that was the infamous photoshop piece fishing in NOLA's floodwaters :silly:

[Orrex]

3. It will be:

"I apologize to the American people and to the world, and I hereby tender my resignation effective immediately. I will not seek nor accept any pardon for my many criminal abuses of power while in office, and I intend to cooperate fully with the coming prosecution. I ask only that it proceed swiftly so that our nation can begin healing from the damage that I have caused it."

[AndyA]

12. I'm all for that one. That would indeed be his finest moment, and

America's as well. :thumbsup:

[Avalux]

4. I really am trying to think of something.

How about when he made the surprise visit to the troops for Thanksgiving and brought them a turkey? I know he lifted their spirits and helped morale. That was such a selfless thing to do!! :D

[underpants]

13. empty, fake, lightweight, prop

Actually you know what-all that applies to the fake turkey as well

[Avalux]

16. lol! Something weird about that pic I just noticed -

The guy leaning on Bush's right arm....he looks as if he's falling into him; almost looks fake.

[underpants]

18. How could someone not figure out that that isn't a real bird?

Wouldn't the weight be a give away?

Sheesh it's enough to make you start praying for all of us.

[Avalux]

21. I gave up praying a long time ago.

Now I'm hoping for an alien invasion that will liberate us and teach every person on this planet how to get along despite our differences and live in PEACE. x(

[Alexodin]

5. Well he did give the medal of freedom to Aretha Franklin.

A stopped clock is right twice a day but a stopped calendar is right only the one time.

[underpants]

10. Yep that is a good one

Well done

[BOSSHOG]

7. His best moment has yet to come

It will be the minute before Wesley Clark is sworn in as the next President of the United States, January 2009.

[Vickers]

9. When he was walking through the flowers and holding hands with

Prince Abdullah of Saudu Arabia...that really captured it all right there.

A true high-water mark.

14. `

[reichstag911]

17. Awwwwwwww,...

...isn't young love sweet?

[Virginia Dare]

11. He's done a damn good job of clearing his ranch of brush...

other than that, can't think of a thing.

:freak:

[Vinca]

19. His best moment is in the future.

He'll be standing in the helicopter doorway giving a forced wave to the crowds as he leaves Washington in disgrace.

[purji]

20. best moment

when he choked on a pretzel.Worst moment when he stopped choking on a pretzel.

[underpants]

23. OH NO

:yoiks:

[Individualist]

24. Actually, the best moment

was when he was unconscious after choking on the pretzel.

[Catchawave]

25. For a few seconds after 9-11

I felt he was bringing America together. The original "bullhorn" moment, though any idiot could see that was an exploited photo-op, but hey, we needed that?

D'oh, me. There is absolutely nothing I can think of to thank Bush for..personally, locally, nationally or globally. :cry:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

29. Eh, revisionist history.

The moments after 9-11 he spent hiding. Then he spent some time with photo-ops. Then he used the hysteria to push tax cuts for the rich through congress. Once he was done with his agenda, then he started thinking about Afghanistan.

[Catchawave]

33. But, But, But.....

The personal "highlight" of his presidency is catching a perch at his ranch pond.

I agree, Our President was missing in action, when We, the Americans, needed the biggest hug of all. Third World Countries usually overthrow these idiots within moments of their Idiot Moment, am I close?

[lwcon]

30. His first post-9/11 speech was good

Whoever wrote it, it was a good speech. We needed it.

For a brief moment, it looked like he might live up to "uniter, not a divider," but almost immediately came theocratic talk of "crusades," moronic talk like calling the terrorists "folks," the wild-west swagger that culminated in "bring it on," and the insane and sneaky conflation of the 9/11 Saudis et al. with Iraq.

The phoney baloneyness of the bullhorn photo-op, building his "mandate" on the bodies of all those victims, just turned my stomach.

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

[Catchawave]

31. Yes

:hug:

32. W's actual role in the administration is present here

The President and the Vice President
The President was seated in a classroom when, at 9:05,Andrew Card whispered to him: "A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack." The President told us his instinct was to project calm, not to have the country see an excited reaction at a moment of crisis. The press was standing behind the children; he saw their phones and pagers start to ring. The President felt he should project strength and calm until he could better understand what was happening.203

The President remained in the classroom for another five to seven minutes, while the children continued reading. He then returned to a holding room shortly before 9:15, where he was briefed by staff and saw television coverage. He next spoke to Vice President Cheney, Dr. Rice, New York Governor George Pataki, and FBI Director Robert Mueller. He decided to make a brief statement from the school before leaving for the airport. The Secret Service told us they were anxious to move the President to a safer location, but did not think it imperative for him to run out the door.204

Between 9:15 and 9:30, the staff was busy arranging a return to Washington, while the President consulted his senior advisers about his remarks. No one in the traveling party had any information during this time that other aircraft were hijacked or missing. Staff was in contact with the White House Situation Room, but as far as we could determine, no one with the President was in contact with the Pentagon. The focus was on the President's statement to the nation. The only decision made during this time was to return to Washington.205

26. I loved the "trying to escape through the locked doors" moment.

Priceless.

[bigmonkey]

27. Agreeing to meet with the Dalai Lama in 2001

For some reason, he and GB41 have been willing to piss off the Chinese and meet with him. I can't really give him anything (and I mean _anything_) else, but I will give him this.

[TrogL]

28. Managing not to moon the audience at inauguration

It's all been downhill from there.
