1. Winston Churchill did like his drink.
Not a bad comparison, in that sense at least.

2. Plus Churchill was voted out of office
Right after WWII...right in the middle of the Potsdam conference if I'm not mistaken

4. Let's see what Tweety has to say about this (Churchill is his hero)
I don't think Churchill ever said that facism couldn't be defeated though.

5. Well, they DID both drink too much...
Only Bush lied about it, or still does.

7. I really don't see any comparison.
Winston Churchill could speak in whole sentences.

8. Willie vs W
Edited on Mon Aug-30-04 01:31 PM by maine_raptor
Hobbies:

WSC: Bricklaying, used to build walls to relax, said it cleared his mind to deal better with other problems.

GWB: Brush cutting, like to clear land reason unknown but it could be related to his current Enviromental policy.

WSC: Landscape painting, see above (was actually quite good).

GWB: At one time did do fingerpainting, but had to give it up because the paints were putting weight on him and changing the color of his teeth.

WSC: Fly fishing, used "catch and release" Method

GWB: Bass fishing, uses plugs and lures ever since Karl his old method of "half-a-stick of 40%" would turn off the more "sensitive voters of the mid-west".

There's more, I can see Rudy's point...........NOT!

9. Giuliani is a chickenhawk of the first order.
So he has no idea about what made Churchill tick.

And dumbya is a coward and a deserter anyway.

Giuliani is perhaps the biggest chickenhawk of all. A bunch of student deferments and when he ran out of those, he got some judge to keep him out of serving. Yeah, Rudi is a total fraud.

16. The only thing we have to fear is Bush himself!
The Brits should be outraged and should protest the nerve of these hooligans.

17. Saying it does not make it so. OMG. To suggest that the shrub has
anywhere near the intellectual curiosity, political acuity, or historical understanding of Churchill is just obscene. As for being a war leader - Churchill didn't attack Spain when the Luftwaffe bombed London - he attacked Germany.

18. Churchill helped screw up the Middle East
just ask T.E. Lawrence.

So maybe the comparison is appropriate.
