Myths about Bush

The Anchoress looks at a list of "reasons to impeach Bush".

I’ve seen similar lists throughout the web - the collective is circulating it in order to really drill home to everyone who may not yet be fully convinced that George W. Bush is the worst, most evil man ever born from woman (if that is what Barbara Bush may be called) and also the stupidest evil super genius imaginable.

I read a transcript of the execrable morning program The View in which Joy Behar, a Gore-adoree of the first water, reads from one of these lists:

...Let me get through the list. He withdrew us from the Kyoto Treaty, John Ashcroft. Sat in the classroom after learning about 9/11…He lied to us to get us into the war. He awarded a no-bid contract to Halliburton, Abu Ghraib. He promoted his friend Michael Brown to take care of Katrina. Heck of a job, Brownie. Remember that? He doesn’t listen to the Iraq Study Group. He choked on a pretzel…He waited a week to visit New Orleans and then only to watch some jazz. He stood by Alberto Gonzales…and he stood by Rumsfeld, who some people think is a war criminal. He can’t pronounce the word “nuclear.” These are just some of the reasons…this guy needs to be thrown out of office.

The list she looks at includes:

1) Bush Stole the Election!

2) Bush Lied Us Into War!

3) Bush Wanted to Privatize Social Security!

4) Bush Killed the Surplus with Tax Cuts!

5) Bush Killed the Kyoto Treaty!

6) Bush sat in the classroom after learning about 9/11!

7) Bush awarded a no-bid contract to Halliburton!

8) Bush promoted his friend Michael Brown to take care of Katrina! Heck of a job, Brownie. Remember that?

9) Bush ignored the Iraq Study Group!

10) Bush choked on a pretzel! He can’t say nuclear the way we want him to! He talks like a Texan! We hate him!
