The Bush legatoodnicity

Finding the proper epitaph for eight disastrous years of incompetence and fucktardity. The Froomster:

The White House is engaged in a furious campaign to convey more positive views of the Bush presidency than the ones commonly held by the public.

"Protected the Nation" is precisely the kind of epitaph that the White House would like to see for Bush. But is it the best one? What about "Tortured Prisoners"? Or "Lost New Orleans"? "Liberator of Iraq" would be welcome, but what about "Attempted Tyrant"? "Decider" or "Divider"?

Iraq and the war on terror will inevitably be central to Bush’s legacy, one way or the other. But so may the devastated economy. There’s also the matter of Hurricane Katrina, the growth of executive power, the decline of government competence, and so much more.

What do you think is the appropriate -- and appropriately short -- epitaph for this presidency? Share your suggestions here.

"No One Could Have Predicted..."
"Didn't Forget Poland. Forgot the Constitution."
"Heckuva Job... Ruining America."
"Who Cares What You Think?"
"George W. Bush: Intelligence Failure"
"Worst President Ever."
"George Debacle Bush."
"The Worst Disaster to Hit the US"

George W Bush: Shoe Salesman

As bad for the United States as Caligula was for Rome. But at least he didn't fuck his sister.

I didn't want to be the president during a depression greater than the Great Depression ... so we moved and moved hard.

... with a bandaid solution costing taxpayers trillions. Thanks, Dubya, glad we could help with that all-important self-image.

Just bought a new pair of shoes, incidentally, perhaps you'd like the old pair. Come by and let me show you them. I triple dog dare you.
