What will be the next "great failure" of George W. Bush ?
He screwed up our economy royally. He was handed the largest surplus in our nations history and he turned it into the largest deficit and debt. He has nearly decimated our military. He has made our country a pariah around the rest of the world. He has given turned over the nation's wealth to the richest one percent of his friends in Big Business. What's next? He will be successful in destroying the Social Security system that has saved so many elderly lives and permitted them to live in decency and independence?

1. With any luck...

... it will be his failure to maintain bowel control. :)

As things stand right now, I don't think he's going to have much of a chance of ruining SS. It was simple arrogance of his in thinking he could do what no one else has been able to do in seventy years. And his stumping for wrecking SS has played well in Peoria.

What's next? My guess is another military misadventure. (I would add, on edit, that Poppy had two, so George has got to outdo him.)

3. My hope is
That his next big failure will be the failure to defend himself against all charges of impeachment.

4. Probably a questioning of Roe V. Wade

If not an overturn, perish the thought.

Or another huge step backwards in civil rights...

5. failure in world domination plans
He's going to lose to China, because it has a manufacturing base, more people, and coherent economic policies (not that they're necessarily good for their own people).

6. A dramatic environmental catastrophe
that is a direct, unquestionable result of his lax regulatory policies.
