100 Things Americans (Who Don't Work For the Bush Administration) May Not Know About the Bush Administration
The other day I was ambling around the internet, looking at pictures of Rahm Emanuel and voting for Indecision in the Weblog Awards, and it occurred to me that I've been getting my news about soon-to-be-former president George W. Bush from the highly untrustworthy news media.
"Straight from the horse's mouth, Brownie," I told myself, clicking the bookmark for whitehouse.gov. Lo and behold! In a section called "The Bush Record," there's a 41-page .pdf entitled "100 Things Americans May Not Know About the Bush Administration," which I downloaded so you don't have to. Let's take a look at GWB's many (secret???) accomplishments…
"Waged the global war on terror."
So he's the guy who's been doing this! I had no idea. He never mentions it."Created institutions to propel the spread of democracy worldwide."
That institution in Guantanamo Bay, for example."Increased the accountability, transparency and effectiveness of the federal government."
Definitely, if by "accountability" you mean "unaccountability" and by transparency you mean "secrecy" and by effectiveness you mean "poop.""Improved lives by engaging faith-based organizations and promoting volunteerism."
This part is true. Just think how many church groups and volunteers have been inspired to help rebuild the Gulf Coast."Stood on principle, refused to put off tough decisions, and showed the way ahead."
Can't argue with this either. George W. Bush never put off tough decisions; he made them as hastily as possible, and never let his principles be shaken by facts or the Constitution. And so, yes, George W. Bush has shown us the path to the future.
It's that way. Far away from him.

His best accomplishments are a secret.

Uh, yeah… Where have you people been for the last 8 years?
Holy Crap From page 20 down it's all about how he's promising money all around the world… If he has all this money to spread to other nations than now I know why the F*** the US has gone belly up… Why not get out of the red here before we send anymore help to anyone else….
Bush accomplishment: ferreting out the differences between SDI, CGI, and Lucas Films.
My editor will not be shot. "… otherwise they might be at a war in progress…" Sheesh. I spoke real good then.
I'm glad Bush "laid the foundation for a future Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement". I mean, otherwise they might be at a war in progress between Israel and Hamas.
I love that one of his "accomplishments" is withdrawing from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
