What good things has Bush done as "president"?

[Deep13]

We all know about his policy disasters, his painful incompetence, his value of misplaced loyalty over facts and his callous disregard for all that is good and wholesome. Nevertheless, once you get past that, he can't be all bad. What good things has he accomplished?

[Neoma]

1. Being funny.

Enough for me to laugh at him.

[Aristus]

2. I hear crickets.

n/t

[Deep13]

3. Somewhere in the distance, a dog barks.

[Deep13]

4. Shock and awe. Smoke em out. Dead or alive. I am the dee-cider.

Heck of a job.

5. Hears the SOUNDS OF SILENCE

Hello darkness my old friend....

Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, the words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.

6. Nada. Niente. Nunca.

I voted for "Jack". :D

[Anarcho-Socialist]

7. His supply-side economics are benefitting Columbia

All those rich trust fund kids got more money from daddy's tax cut to spend on the smelling stuff.

[Deep13]

8. Put a nice rug in the Oval room.

[swag]

9. Morans love it when I type this, but Bush did do a good thing once:

He signed the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 into law.

Stop Prisoner Rape

[driver8]

10. He caught a big perch, once.

Or was it a bass?

I can't remember.

[El Fuego]

11. In his ironic simian way, he is a "uniter"

Because so many Americans agree now that he is an idiot!

[dback]

12. I think setting aside the land in Hawaii for preservation

There's probably a catch there somewhere, but it seemed like a genuinely good thing. Friends in Hawaii who haaaaaaaaaaaaaate him were caught off guard.
