Can you think of anything anyone in the GWB administration has done right?
Just wondering. I'm still thinking; haven't come up with anything yet. (Unless you count evil shit; they certainly do that well: eviscerating habeas corpus, the rest of the Bill of Rights, the Geneva Conventions, while making us a nation of torturers. I like to think nobody here will consider any of this doing something right, however)

Cue crickets.

1. Paul O'Neill resigned early on...
...and then wrote a very informative book. He has my respect. That's about it!

23. 22 million Afghanis and 28 million Eye-raqis.
Rush and Hannity told me so.

3. Didn't they make some body of water around Hawaii
a national wildlife refuge or the aquatic equivalent? But wouldn't such action turn off the environmentally hating base?

24. Yes. Though it wasn't an administration initiative, The AWOL/moron did...
not veto it. So someone deserves credit. Perhaps the moron was at the pig farm or perhaps whoever it is that explains what "veto" means to the moron was AWOL that day. But regardless, for someone who has made every wrong decision possible for 6 years the result was good on the "No Call" deal.

6. He united America against himself.
Most of America, anyway. He still has that hardcore 33% of the population who would support him even if he ordered them to round up fellow citizens to be stuffed into concentration camps built by Kellog, Brown & Root.

7. Bush's scrawl does grace the "Do-Not-Call" list.
That's the one thing I'll credit him for, although to be honest it would've been political suicide if he didn't sign it.

11. I think when George W. Bush went to visit . . .
that young man with autism who played that incredible game of basketball early this year, it was a right and proper Presidential action.

I also think the Telemarketing "No-Call List" is a good thing. Haven't been able to properly determine just how much George W. played a hand in it, but I'm willing to give him due kudos if he'll take responsibility for the numerous screw ups and crimes of his administration.

25. On a personal note... something that was good.......
When my wife and I went to Paris in May of '04, I was certain that the average bogger-eatin' Republican moron was not going to be there. That made my trip that much more pleasantn and I owe that to the AWOL/moron.

18. Almost 60% of the time, Bush remembers to wipe himself after he shits.
Considering the mental faculties with which he has to work, that should qualify as a success.
