11. Custer thought he could wipe out the entire native population

with the manpower of one company of troops.

I guess the Little Big Horn showed his ass.

[immoderate]

4. I meant the guy in the picture.

--IMM

[jody]

5. Benedict Arnold. n/t

[unrepuke]

18. Curly Howard? Re: Benny Arnold - you realize he was the only one

amongst the group who was NOT a traitor? They were all British subjects and military officers who turned against their own king - Arnold was the whistle blower.

[hvn_nbr_2]

19. Ben. Arnold more closely resembles BeneDick Cheney, I think. nt

[chelsea0011]

7. "Wrongway" Corrigan?

[jedr]

8. Alfred E. Newman?

:evilgrin:

[Blue Belle]

9. Herbert Hoover...

If his approval ratings have anything to do with it. :)

10. That is George Armstrong Custer

You know the guy that got the hairct out in the Black Hills.

[immoderate]

15. Yeah, that's more like it.

[H2O Man]

36. Custer was brave enough

to fight in several "campaigns."

[immoderate]

12. This is not going the way that I thought!

I thought the comparison between Bush and Custer would be a veritable scream. Where did I go wrong?:shrug:

--IMM

[Straight Shooter]

24. bush never went into battle with the troops

Other than that, he's about as ignorant and pigheaded as Custer.

[confuddled]

25. Misoverestimated your audience n/t

[amber dog democrat]

13. Wayne Gacey ?

22. "The Life of one soldier is not worth the reconsideration of a

Custer Decision"... Gen. George A. Custer.

[LostInAnomie]

23. The absolute inverse of Franklin Roosevelt

Horrible at running a war.
Horrible at managing an economy.
Cares only for the rich.
FDR's impairment was physical, GWB's is mental.
FDR was elected 4 times legally. GWB was never legally elected.
FDR's wife is the standard by which all other first ladies are judged, GWB's wife is a vapid stepford wife.

I could go on and on and on but you get the idea.

[brentspeak]

26. Politician Greg Stillson from Stephen King's "The Dead Zone"

To protect himself from an assassin's bullet, Stillson uses a baby as a human shield.

27. Alfred E. Neuman (nt)

[gulliver]

28. Spaulding Smales
