Considering the circumstances, even Dubya’s looking better these days…
Hell I get all warm and fuzzy when I look at W these days.
gods help us all.
Don’t let the unprecedented awfulness of Trump seduce you into looking back at the mere incredible awfulness of W with nostalgia. He did manage to lead us into the worst economic crisis since 1929, not to mention a misguided and unnecessary war. Plus his ditching of Clinton’s agreement with N Korea (for no other reason than a Demmycrat did it) gave them a nuclear bomb by 2006.
And hey, remember those alert warnings they used primarily for political purposes just to make sure we were all scared shitless and cowed into complacency as they trampled our civil rights?
Ain’t gonna say the man was amazing, but if I gotta choose between the naive, incurious, and easily-manipulated puppet of an international threat to global stability and the naive, incurious, avaricious, viciously-narcissistic and easily-manipulated puppet of an international threat to global stability…
… fuck, Darth Cheney ain’t lookin’ that bad.
Despite the fact that George W. was the worst president of my lifetime, I also find myself cutting him a little slack. It was his last 30 months that sort of improved George W.'s standing (and the firing of Rumsfeld and heeding the retired generals, etc.).
Of course, I said “was” because Trump has more than easily replaced him as the worst. The Republicans clearly have work to do. Meanwhile, too many Republican voters have no institutional memory and therefore no clue how much they’re damaging themselves, and the nation.
Well the company he is in, smooths the edges of the memories, and the lack of Darth Cheney presence rather lightens the dark cloud that used to float over his head.
Darth Cheney will ALWAYS look that bad, in my eyes.
Looking good! This will never happen with Trump because he would INSIST he needed to own the golf course and then try and micromanage the event.
Seems like each new President we get makes the older ones look a whole lot better…
Trump’s pissed because they won’t allow him to play on the team.
I hope H W is in good health.
He would also bully his way forward and stand in front of everyone else. Maybe even step on President Obama’s feet for an added frisson of satisfaction.
Don’t forget “Free Speech Zones”.
Nah…W did NOT dim the good memories of Bill.
Trump the Great Uniter, makin us go all kumbaya wit these guys 
Reminds me of those idiot Americans who blame Obama for The screwup with Hurricane Katrina. No memory, no brain.
I wouldn’t want to be seen hanging around Phil Mickelson. He’s a pretty scummy guy.
Here is a piece by Jeffery Toobin:
Never did Bush Jr, look any more happy since his ignoble reign ended. No longer the worst he can rest assured that his legacy is preserved, in that history will forget about him.
