Go bush :censored:
 
Elusive,

Accuracy and facts are obviously not a big concern of this list. Those that believe it and use it may get the pleasure of having Bush as their president for another 4 years.
 
He could be President of the USA!. Oh that's right, he is. Too bad that I have actually witnessed a great deal of these stats, and wish I could say they aren't true... And he just may be able to buy his way back into the White House in '04. He's raising alot of money. That will probably get him back in, alone. Who can compete with the tv propaganda that amount of money can buy.
 
Looking at this resume, I wouldn't even hire you for a position at McDonalds. But I do have to admit that some of these entries are exaggerated and I do not tolerate those who exaggerate on their resumes. But those that are true make you a huge risk. I will have to deny your application. Thank you and good luck.
 
The list is, for the most part, silly.

Now, to answer the original question: Based on the fact that President Bush built his campaign to invade Iraq on a foundation of pure, unabashed deceit, he clearly has no business holding the office of President. Bush is a disgrace to that office.

However, if I were a company CEO, I would hire Bush as my P.R. flack because he's great at distorting the truth and whipping the buying public into a feeding frenzy. He's utterly fantastic at that sort of thing. :yes:
 
Pub Crawler,

Yep, we all know SADDAM bakes girl scout cookies.

What a nonsens, we all know that the economic sanctions made it imposible to import flour to make cookies. :drunk:

Sting, I think it goes without saying that no one on this board would hire or elect Sadaam to anything. We are discussing President Bush, not Sadaam Hussein.

yes, but Sting always resorts to bringing up Hussein anytime someone criticizes Bush. Poor debating tactic, of course, but easier than actually finding Bush's good points, I guess. :sexywink:
 
sulawesigirl4,

Its also a poor debating tactic to ignore fact and reality and worship unsubstantiated allegations.

Bono's shades,

Look a little more closely at my response and I think you might understand what I was talking about.

Sula, don't you ever get tired of using the phrase "poor debating tactic"?

No, dear friend because people like yourself always give me opportunity to use it. :)

Ah, good to see your sharp wit hasn't gone by the wayside, either...
 
Well, whether the list in question is all fact and no fiction is debatable, I must say. However, the thread asked a question, and I would like to answer it.

I wouldn't hire him to polish my boots.

Ant.
 
I like this thread, but no I would not hire him to do anything but sit in a cage and eat bananas...
 
I would hire him to walk my dog.

Tell stories to my nieces and nephews and neighbor kids.

Host Saturday Night Live.


Be a spokesperson for Frito-Lays new easy chew pretzels.


If he wanted a government job again, I would hire him to be ambassador to Liberia or Niger, these are both in the 'country' of Africa.
 
If I had any morals at all, and I was running a clean, honest business - no way.
But I'm looking to do another big trip overseas next year, so I need money fast, but I don't want to have to do more work then I am doing at the moment. I think judging by this mans resume he has two qualities that I could certainly use:
a) The ability to go a long way in life without apparently doing any work whatsoever.
b) The ability to make alot of money in dodgy ways without anyone being allowed to question it.


In a mostly unrelated point (someone did mention SNL) I saw an old Saturday Night Live a couple of days ago, Will Ferrell did him so well. I saw the skit where he (Ferrell as Bush) is promoting his book, and is acting all 'coked' up, jumping around, rubbing his nose. Keeps asking "Want me to do a line?!?" (referring to his book of course) "Man it's HOT in here!" So funny. Sorry. Go back to your business.
