Did you read his most idiotic statement recently? Here it is, via Rawstory:
"If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed."

Go read the comment thread at Rawstory, too, people are furious:

And rightly so. This cowardly jerk did pull all strings when he had the opportunity to serve, to get instead into the best job the National Guard had to offer, where he could be sure to stay out of combat action. Dubya continuing his party lifestyle as a jet pilot cost the taxpayer hundreds of thousands of dollars, without any serious return for the investment. And now he acts like he is Rambo and Simon Bolivar in one person. Ridiculous!

He also had the nerve to consider our military operations in Afghanistan "romantic."
Kipling, as usual, put it best about "romantic" colonial wars:
"When you're lyin' there wounded on Afghanistan's plains,
An' the women come out to cut up what remains,
Better roll to yer rifle and blow out yer brains,
An' go to yer Gawd like a soldier!"

I expected to see him cry or start stamping his feet or holding his breath til he passed out at his last press conference.
He's such a petulant, whiny little coward, isn't he?

"Romantic"??? That worthless scum.
He'd better hope this comment got past Olbermann, otherwise he'll get hit with a Special Comment he'll never forget.

I think I mentioned earlier that Spitzer's photo should be next to the dictionary entry for 'asshole'.
Got that one wrong, sorry. Put down this man's mugshot instead.
Obviously his Vietnam 'experience' wasn't enough for such a manly man.
No self awareness whatsoever.

......... his Gridiron Club routine is quite the performance also. My wife's blood was boiling after I showed her the clip. I'm running out of words to describe the guy.

"QUESTION: Don't you think the president is lying?
PELOSI: Am I saying the president is lying?"
Nancy-pants, at this point you can answer with a simple and straightforward "yes" instead of weaseling around it. But I don't expect a lot from someone whose first order of business on gaining a majority was taking impeachment off the table.
The Dem establishment are born losers, even when they win.
"I'm running out of words to describe the guy."
I find "scumbag" to be a good catch-all for him.

Yeah, I've used that in the past, but really feel it's too kind to him. I think a word is going to have to be invented to thoroughly capture his all-round scummyassholeloserbastardness.

Ever since I saw the footage of Bush psyching himself up before announcing the attack on Iraq, it's been clear to me where his mentality is. War is a game to him. He's a kid playing with an XBox, except his system has the best graphics.
The word you're looking for is not "scumbag" or "asshole." The word is "sociopath." He lacks the basic brain circuitry for human empathy. Sociopaths are often capable manipulators and always see themselves as the heroes in their own dramas.

True enough, but that's a technical term. I'm after an every day word that truly encapsulates the man.

"The word is "sociopath.""
Indeed. Not visceral enough to convey the loathing I have for him, though.
I'm willing to tolerate a lot of BS in my life, but whenever I see his face or hear his voice I have to turn away. His photos are like New Yorker cartoons: replace the caption on any one of them with "Christ, what an asshhole" and it'll still work every time. That ... well ... scumbag represents just about every negative aspect of this country, and none of the positive ones.
It's my sincere hope that, one day, calling someone a "real Bush" will convey the same message as calling him a "scumbag" or "asshole".

bush is a sociopath, scumbag, & asshole sure enough, but above all, as an outraged American & Bokonon-fancier, i've always said the W stands for wrang-wrang...the stuppas that control the duffle of our granfalloon have made pool-pah all but zah-mah-ki-bo...if things don't drastically change this year, as in, Obama getting elected for a start, it's about enough to make one want to stimulate the US economy by taking up a nice smack habit...

Sweeeeet.
I still think the best appellation ever applied to Bush is a fine old Southern epithet: Whistlebritches.

I just checked this to see if it still works and it does! I'm sure you've all done it already, but Bollox Ref made me remember this. :D
Google "asshole", hit "i'm feelin' lucky" ......... 
And nan nan didn't call him a liar. She played some passive/aggressive game..... as always.
"The President is a liar".
That would be a most welcome headline to see. :-|

heh, during the 2000 campaign i called bush "Warbucks", just cause the appellation seemed to fit in a pragmatic-semantic kind of way...but i may have been using it incorrectly...
gee, 2008 really is a whole 'nother country, in a whole too-goddamn-brave-for-this-po-mo-fo new world...on the one hand, it's kind of nice to be a peon, & have zero responsibility for the shitty state of things at large, but then i remember that being an American means we're responsible after all, & it's an uphill fuckin struggle bigtime...well then, raise hell for the bastards, encourage everyone you know to do the same, try to stay informed, for your own benefit & the potential education of others, & if things look bleak, "live by the foma that make you brave & kind & healthy & happy"...
