Worst President Ever

A columnist in the Toronto Star considered the question of whether George W. Bush is the worst president in history. He attributed Bush's ineptitude to "a neural disconnect in his brain that at crucial moments causes him to be divorced from the constraints of rational thought."

The result is that Bush "seems to be observing events from another dimension."

Bush may compare in terms of domestic disarray to Grant's post-Civil War reign or NIxon's corrupt bumblings and warmongering, but none have had such a destructive global impact.

He wrote that although America's historians will debate this question, the rest of the world knows the answer. Amen to that.

I doubt there will be much debate on the subject.

I also doubt there will be much debate. But not for the same reasons. I expect history to find Bush roughly equal to FDR.

But the real question, Roy, is: did you vote for him? and how many times?

Roy said...

This blog is not about me, safiyyah, nor is the post. So why is the "real question" about me?

safiyyah bint world said...

Umm, why can't it be? You agree that he's one of the worst presidents ever, but don't want to admit that you voted for him. Fine. Whatever. You're an idiot. It's not "about" you. It just is.

>You agree that he's one of the worst presidents ever

No, I didn't.

>You're an idiot. It's not "about" you.

Right. Calling me an idiot isn't about me. Who I voted for isn't about me.

Gosh, is anything about me, about me? Or is it all relevant to Kabobfest? Shall we just rename the blog "Royfest"?

Do you think that history considers FDR to be "one of the worst" presidents? I don't.

safiyyah bint world said...

OK, so let's change that to: you make no sense whatsoever. I considered that you were saying that you consider him as bad as YOU consider FDR.

OK, so you don't think he's a horrible president and I misread what you said. The fact remains, and is in fact strengthened, You are an idiot.

Good day to you.

Says the person who comes to Kabobfest, a blog about Arab events, to discuss me.

So, about calling people idiots? Glass houses, dear.
