Cuomo / Lemon Don't Gush Over George Bush For The Love Of God

I agree he wasn't as bad as Trump, but there was very little good in George Bush. I won't go down the WHOLE list but will a few things stand out regarding "W".

Flat out lying about WMD's to start a war for oil. Ignoring in your face warnings before 9-11. Tax cuts that only helped the wealthy. Turned a budget surplus into a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit, and then left office with our country burning down.

Yes "W" was a family man, and didn't disgrace the office the way Trump does every day, but that doesn't deserve that much praise.

Please don't gush over him, and his family you guys. It makes me ill.

There are a lot of dead people out there because of the Bush Family who would still be alive today if they were "better" human beings.

The "Bush Family" I don't consider "good" either. There are a whole lot of criminals who created a whole lot of corpses that never went to jail because Bush, and Barr gave them a "break". Not meaning to trash the dead, and Bush Sr. had a lot of good qualities, far more than his son, but saying he was "good" is a stretch.

Stop the gushing once and for all CNN.

I, for one, will never stop vilifying George W. Bush, and these recent lame attempts to rehabilitate his image must not succeed. Just because you are no longer the shittiest president our country has ever suffered that does not make you any less shitty than you actually were.

A pox on the House of Bush and a pox on the House of Trump - may they someday receive everything they deserve.

At the 1988 Republican Convention, Hartford Courant associate editor David Fink struck up a conversation with George W. "When you're not talking politics," Fink asked the vice president's son, "what do you and [your father] talk about?"

"Pussy," George W. replied.
