Looking at history’s most evil pricks, George W. Bush doesn’t measure up (no pun intended). From Caligula, to Attila the Hun, to Vlad the Impaler, to Torquemada, to last century’s mass murderers – Hitler, Stalin and Mao -- George W. Bush lacks the “stature” (if you care to call it that) of a major-league butcher. But it’s not for lack of trying.
Junior has failed at everything he’s tried in his life. And now, even though he’s racked up a sizable body count and is an obvious sociopath, he’s still just a strutting, ignorant, pathetic little failure. Imagine this mindless joke of a man if Cheney, Rove and so many other enablers, hadn’t been there to make the past seven years happen. If Bush had been on his own, would the whirlwind now being reaped have ever occurred? I doubt it.
This in no way excuses Bush’s malevolence and contempt for other human beings. Had he not been born into wealth, does anyone really doubt that he’d probably be a homeless man, stealing from and mauling those weaker than himself?
Unfortunately for us all, this particular mental and emotional pygmy was thrust into the White House, and was surrounded by people who saw an opportunity to bring about their own insane agenda. And the world is going to be paying a price for it for many decades to come.
