Worst

I actually engaged in a debate a couple of weeks ago about whether Bush is worse than Nixon. I can't believe how incredibly naive I was. How foolish and gullible I was. I took the "Nixon was worse" side of things.

I can't imagine Nixon, even in his deepest funk, sitting back and watching this unfold. He didn't care about poor black people who would never vote for him. He did care about his reputation as a man who got things done.

But Bush went to political rallies. And not just one. He had time to give a war speech. He had time to do one of those down-homey, aww shucks, goober-headed town hall events. Talkin' ta seniors about that ol' medicare. During the flood. While people died.

How could I be such an idiot? How could I have failed to plumb the depth of Bush's incompetence? What an idiot I was. "Nixon was worse"?

I can't stand the mendacity. I can't stand the incompetence. But to have both? That dog won't hunt.

Impeach the Goober.
