Oh, Chimpy, it's been so long ("nostalgia" thread)

[coti]

I wish I could say I missed you- I haven't- but that 8 years of death, misery, ignorance and the occasional laugh at your clowning from 2001-2009 sure was...8 years, wasn't it? 8 fucking years.

Chimpy McCokespoon. I can't remember the last time I said those words. And, now, here you are on my TV, and all of the memories are returning like a backwash of sewage.

Let's see- what is my "fondest" memory of Chimpy and his associates at ChimpCo? Wow- how about when $8 billion dollars in duffel bags got dumped off a plane and just disappeared into Iraq, never to be seen again? That was a great one. Completely incompetent, but also absurd, so you could kind of laugh at it, if you didn't actually think about losing the money.

What about you guys? What are your "fondest" memories of that 8 years of pure hell?

1. Remember that time he sought compromise with the Democrats?

Neither do I.

[rurallib]

2. The wrecked economy - house prices falling like rocks

people losing their life savings, banksters given money by the truckload.
And even keeping enough repugs in congress so it can't be changed.
Oh Chimpy.

[coti]

3. Remember the time when everyone had to drive to Crawford to tell him what a douchebag he was,

because he wasn't listening? Good times.

Also, the time where he and the rest of ChimpCo forced Colin Powell to recite a bunch of lies in front of the whole world so that they could start a war? Then got angry at him because he was angry at them?

[kentuck]

4. When he passed out and fell off the couch...

and busted his lip and eye.

No, that wasn't funny.

Let me think...

[geek tragedy]

5. Now watch this drive. nt

6. The fact that he is gone is my fondest memory.

GOV. GEORGE W. BUSH (R-TX), PRESIDENT-ELECT: "I told all four that there were going to be some times where we don't agree with each other. But that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."

The Repukes loved and worshiped a dictator for 8 years...yeah I am talking about Cheney and not his stooge GWB.

7. January 20th, 2009...

When he left office.

[RebelOne]

10. Yes, and when he left in the helicopter. n/t

8. I'm sticking pins in my eyes rather than watching W on my TV.

[Whisp]

9. :shivers:

"So what?" –President Bush, responding to a an ABC News correspondent who pointed out that Al Qaeda wasn't a threat in Iraq until after the U.S. invaded, Dec. 14, 2008

"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace." --Washington, D.C. June 18, 2002

"I'm the decider, and I decide what is best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the Secretary of Defense." --Washington, D.C. April 18, 2006 (Rumsfeld, haven't thought of that ugly heartless ghoul for ages. ugh)

and what I call the Grand Pappy of Bush idiotcy:

"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." --Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004

11. George Carlin on W

"One of them is the reference to him as Gov. Bush and the fact that I will always think of him, no matter where they hang his portrait or where they put his statue, that's what he is. He's Gov. Bush because that's the last elected office he held legally."

[LittleBlue]

12. Chimpy should be in jail in The Hague.

Being tried and convicted for war crimes by the ICC.

It's a shame the world will never get the justice we deserve.

[reformist2]

13. Election Day, 2008 - the repudiation of the Bush Era.

I felt such vindication.
