I just watched Bush on GMA 2 minutes ago and he said that Lincoln is one of his most favorite president because through a difficult presidency he had the moral fortitude to stand behind his beliefs
”That all men are created equal”
He never ceases to amaze me man. So in the spirit of that line I would like to ask you today. What word sums up this President?
My pick is Hollow

It’s difficult to pick one word to describe a man who paints himself as a cross between Rambo (The Decider), Jed Clampet (Folks like me sweep brush), and Paris Hilton (Gas 4.00? Where did you hear that?).
But at the end of the day the word I’d use to describe him is dangerous.

One word with a few meanings: Tool

Failure would be the word that I’d use. The tough part about that word is deciding what adjectives suffice to describe the sheer magnitude of that failure.

Just pure, unmitigated GREED.

Wasteful. Wasteful spending and wasted opportunities.

Fascist - always more power to the executive, militaristic rhetoric, expansion of empire, manipulation of the media, scapegoating of Muslims, appeals to extreme patriotism, individual rights crushed by authoritarian privileges (that are above the law).

Presidential.

Banal.
In the sense that Hannah Arendt used the word for Eichmann.

Even by the GOP’s debased standards, Bush is about as Presidential as a can of tuna fish.

Well I go back and forth on summing up Bush.
I would like to say that he is a simpleton who is the puppet of other evil people.
But he can actually carry on a debate in which he expounds the same evil, so apparently it is internal for him.
I think, like serial killers, he has a coherent psychology that completely explains his viewpoints, but it is so twisted that ordinary people cannot understand it empathetically.

… the word is “sociopath.”

Puppet.
14 Von Cracker // May 5, 2008 at 11:11 am
Puppet for the true elite, I should say….

I would have to agree with anon but as he is completely out of touch with reality as well as capable of espousing and believing the crap that others have given him. Since he is the president I think that makes him worthy of one word:
psychopath.
As only a psychopath would continue following the same course that leads to more death, destruction, economic collapse etc. but Bush does that willingly and then works towards making it come true.

It’s been a while since I took my SAT’s, but I think I can still do analogies pretty well.
1. Bush is to “presidential” as Protack is to “credible”
2. Bush is to “presidential” as Minner is to “voluptuous”

Please, Johnny, the use of the words “Minner” and “Voluptuous” in the same sentence may actually be a crime under the Nuremburg statutes.
