The "Name That Bush Scandal" Contest
Every administration has its scandals, those political quagmires and ethical fiascos that change our culture and forever mar presidential legacies. Among others, Nixon had Watergate, Reagan had Iran-Contra, and Clinton had, um, Lewinsky.
Yet George W. Bush, whose scandals have been the most frequent, severe and damaging, has emerged largely unscathed. Uniquely among modern presidential outrages, Bush?s have gone unnoticed, unexplored, underreported, unpunished and most of all, unnamed.
That is, until now.
To commemorate George W. Bush?s second inauguration, Perrspectives.com is holding its first ever ?Name That Bush Scandal? Contest. If Reagan had "Iranamok" (Iran/Contra) and Clinton had "Bimbroglio" (Lewinsky scandal), what should Bush's contributions to posterity be? Simply send us your suggested names for any or all of the Bush scandals and you could win great prizes like an Apple Mini iPod, Amazon.com gift certificates, and international acclaim. More important, you could earn the eternal thanks of a grateful nation.

then this guy became Governor? It's too depressing to even go on.
I think that Rove picked Bush on purpose. To push Liberals off-balance. He picked the guy least qualified, from an ethical stance, to be worthy of the office of President. For no other reason than to keep us liberals busy investigation, and screaming about what a shit this guy is.
By all logic, this should have backfired. The Right is all about morals and values. But what we don't grasp is the mindset's REALLY all about blind loyalty to their "team", and NEVER admit you're wrong.
Bush was put on the pedestal. He's obviously the worst Republican of all time, with regard to their values. But because he's their boy, the Right HAS to love him. They have no choice. To criticize their own boy would be to admit they're wrong. So the left could come up with video footage of Bush sharing young boys with Michael Jackson, and the Right would never accept it as real. The pajama brigade would be out in force, debunking. And ANY distantly plausible argument that it's a fake will be accepted as gospel truth.
That's why we've got to stop focussing on discrediting Bush as our primary M.O. It will never work. No matter what.
What's needed is a Left Wing Noise Machine, equivalent to what they have on the Right. (Cancellation of Crossfire notwithstanding). I'm convinced now, that that's the ONLY thing that's going to change the tide in this country.
Excellent additions. Keep 'em coming!
Nice post,good inormation.
