Would you hire George Bush?
Edited on Sun Sep-05-04 03:57 PM by dmordue
Would You Re-Hire George Bush?


Why would anyone vote for George Bush this fall? On his blog Informed Comment, U. of Michigan history professor Juan Cole asks us to look at this question from the point of view of a corporation reviewing the performance of its CEO:

“Bush's basic characteristic is not steadfastness, as the convention attempted to argue, but rashness. He is a gambler who goes for the big bang. He loses his temper easily, and makes hasty and uninformed decisions about important matters. No corporation would keep on a CEO that took risks the way Bush has, if the gambles so often resulted in huge losses.

"Let us imagine you had a corporation with annual gross revenues of about $2 trillion. And let's say that in 2000, it had profits of $150 billion. So you bring in a new CEO, and within four years, the profit falls to zero and then the company goes into the red to the tune of over $400 billion per year. You're on the Board of Directors and the CEO's term is up for renewal. Do you vote to keep him in?”


Well? What's your vote?

1. My vote is a hobnailed boot
kicking his backside off the property. He is a disaster, and has always been one.

6. To clean out...
Port-o-lets at Kerry rallies. That is, for good behavior, during his prison stint.

7. He's like other famous, weak nepotism hires from the movies:
-Fredo from the Godfather films, sold out the family to outside interests, ultimately had to be "whacked".

-Gaming Comissioner's cousin or nephew in "Casino" who presided over the casino getting looted in a slot machine scam. (Played by Joe Bob Briggs).

9. Things I'd do with/to bu$hit...
1. put him in prison

2. make it mandatory that he go through 2-4 years of AA and drug rehab at the prison

3. put him in the psych ward in the prison, maybe let him out after 2-4 years WITH SUPERVISION depending on his progress

4. leave him in prison for the rest of his natural life where he cannot do any more harm to himself or anyone else

As far as the Monsters who puppet him - well, that's another story.

Those guys (Baker, Cheney, Rove, et al) should be rocketed to Pluto and left there. Only way Earth will ever be safe from them. Maybe we could send Osama with them - birds of a feather...

10. Hell, would you hire Bush for any job?
The presidency aside, the man has not been successful at anything. HIs oil companies had failed, his Texas policies didn't work well, hell, he couldn't stay sober enough on the GUard to keep flying. The man has failed at everything he's done.

11. Towel Boy requires more dependability and ingenuity.
Bush is unqualified for every occupation.

In nature, he could fill only one niche.

12. HIRE A SNAKE???
Like with Zeb Miller crawling in bed with Bush, I would not hire Bush to shake the dew off my lilly:

There is that old Indian story where an Indian boy and a snake get in a terrible storm on top of a mountain - the snake slithers around and asks the boy to take him down the mountain to safety... the snake promises not to harm him... so, the boy puts him in his pocket and struggles through the storm and down the mountain to safety... where the snake promptly bites him... and, as he lays dying, he asks the snake why, when he had saved the snake... and the snake says "You knew what I was when you put me in your pocket!"

Zeb will get his and so will the American people if we let Bush buy this electorate, too.
