Today is a very special day. On Aug 8, 1974, President Richard Nixon, staring at inevitable impeachment due to his involvement in Watergate, resigned as President of the United States. Leaving behind a legacy of widespread corruption and lust for power. Sounds familar? However, I just want to extend a Happy anniversary to Mr. Nixon, his family, and his legions of apologists.
Our current President has taken a lot of flak lately for his handling of world issues. Deservedly so, if you ask me. After all, he's leaving Condi in charge of watching the world burn, while he takes a vacation in Crawford, Texas.
Nothing beats a good old fashion world-wide barbecue, eh, Dubya?
Now, like President Nixon, Mr. Bush has his groupies. Bill O'Reilly for one, who is void of reality, seems to believe that the "Liberal media" view President Bush as an inarticulate bumbler, unsophisticated for world views and just plain dumb.
Well, I like to say to Bill-O, you're wrong.
You see, I found something that would prove without a shadow of a doubt that Mr. Bush isn't unsophisticated, but rather very clever. And, it's my belief that the "Liberal Media" should pick-up on this.

Mr. O'Reilly, I don't think, the "Liberal Media" views the President as unsophisticated. I think the "Liberal Media" views the President as a comical footnote in American history who happens to be the leader of the greatest nation on Earth.
The list of nicknames that he created is a perfect example of Mr. Bush's comical stylings. Hopefull he'll stop those stylings and stop the worldwide barbecue that's going on.
I hope.
