This is an important day. I've made a big decision. I'm entering the race for President of the United States of America. The field of Republicans out there is so messed up I figured, it makes you miss me, doesn't it? And that's saying a lot.

How scary is it when Dubya seems like a far less shitty candidate than the current GOP front runners?

'Poor Jeb... it's quite the plot twist that I'm the smart one.'

lol! Taking shots at the Republican candidates is like shooting dead fish in a dry barrel.

Jeb is looking to be the most sane and level headed republican up there.

That was pretty good, seeing "Bush" call someone a knucklehead and crack up like that had a rather Zen quality to it I thought.

"You gotta admit, it's a pretty good plot twist that I turned out to be the smart one."

Hahaha, ouch.

Well, seems most understand this was just to inject a little levity into the quagmire that is P&N. Do hope y'all enjoyed it. :)

The worst president in modern history directly responsible for costing this country trillions in its fucking wars and thousands of lives I don't even find this funny at all.

I don't think anyone with a brain who has been paying attention these last 15 years would disagree with that. By most metrics he and his handler Cheney set a new standard on how bad politicians can both simultaneously suck at their job and abuse their powers of office. Cheney and Co weren't just failers, they were manipulators.

Regardless, laughing at someone impersonate and mock these idiots doesn't mean you approve of that disastrous administration. It means you can deal with these kinds of issues and not let the inherent WTF involved warp you into an igbt or boomerang like poster.

If we actually had Bush himself trying to create levity over this stuff that would be different. I'm on record as wanting to put my foot up his ass sideways for looking under his notebook for WMDs and laughing about it. Few things I've seen were as disgusting as that former coke-head and AWOL offender making light of his sending thousands of better men off to get killed, for political fiction. Will Farrell making fun of Jeb doesn't quite hit the same note, at least IMO.

It is really strange.

At this point it certainly appears that the GOP candidate will be either Trump, Cruz or Rubio. Of those, Trump and Cruz are, in my view, obviously unsuitable candidates, and either of them would be an absolute shit show as President. I have to say I find it shocking that these are the men who are in serious contention to be the Republican nominee.

I'm inclined to agree.

I remember thinking the other day that Rubio will probably get it. He's usually just wrong instead of both wrong and crazy, and he knows his place within the conservative hierarchy. I expect the GOP establishment to move mountains, any way they can, to make Rubio the nominee. Trump doesn't follow the party line, and anything with Cruz involved will be a clusterfuck. Cruz's sleazy opportunism is giving Trump's capricious asshole routine a real run for the money I think, both easily make rational adults cringe. By comparison Rubio is equally or more mature despite the age difference, and hampered "only" by relying on cherry-picked sources or party dogma. His ethnicity and age might qualify him to benefit from some of the anti-establishment, but he's not teahadi and wouldn't run off the old school pubs.

Republicans used to have to pick between 'dumb' and 'less dumb,' now they're choosing between 'dumb' and 'really dumb plus crazy.'

I see Putin has entered the race again too. Just like he did in 2004 when unsurprisingly he voiced support for the guy who would make his job easier. Let's see if the usual suspects figure it out this time, or if Putin is again some kind of friend and hero who America should look to for advice.

On policy, Trump is barely a Republican. All his apparently extreme right-wing positions are purely red meat for the rubes.

But that doesn't matter, because Trump if he were elected wouldn't govern by his comparatively mainstream views. He's a thundering ball of id, and would govern by bombast. That his so-called extreme views are all humbug is exactly wrong. What it means is that he doesn't care anything about issues, it's all personal to him. So there's literally no telling what Trump would do if elected. Cruz may be a true-believing right wing extremist, so if he got elected you'd know to expect a right wing president. Not with Trump.

Geez, it was SATIRE. You don't have to like GWB in any way, shape, or form to "get" what was being conveyed.

In fact, GWB's disastrous administration and all of its unintended consequences we're still dealing with today and in the future does make it ironic that GWB actually looks saner than the current crop of GOP presidential hopefuls.

I never have. I have voted for Republicans for House and Senate seats, as well as in local elections, but never for President. Not sure what that has to do with the topic at hand though . . .

Then what you think of the GOP candidates really doesn't mean a thing.
