What is the best thing about the Bush presidency?
My vote goes for this: he has provided us with plenty, and I mean PLENTY, or comedic material. (See: Daily Show)

I think the GOP foisted Bush & Co. on us out of spite.

6. The fact that he's scared a good percentage of the population into paying enough attention
that they know just how much allowing Republicans into office can cost the country.

8. True, although it's still not what it should be. If things were as they should be,
in 2008 we should have 95% turnout with 100% of the vote going to someone other than the Republican.

12. yep...
I used to say that no one (i mean the general population) would start paying attention unless something impacted their ability to buy their expensive Starbucks and drive their gas-hog SUV's

people are starting to realized that...duh...yes, we do need to get our collective heads out of our collective arses.

maybe :banghead:

10. I love the DS
I'm just sitting here, watching the Daily Show from Wednesday and it is so f-ing funny. He is just tearing Bush apart. Bush is a tool and a joke. I'm laughing, but it's really so sad. :banghead:

13. That, like purgatory, it is of limited duration.
What is it they say in the song in Avenue Q? "Just for now"?

17. The only, and I mean ONLY, good thing about it is that it spawned DU.
And even that is a pyrrhic matter.

24. He has released me from my inhibition ...
to scream "FUCK YOU, YOU ARE A FUCKING INCOMPETENT ASSHOLE" whenever he pops up on TV

I've never cussed that much in my whole life and I am not ashamed of it.
