A satirical look at the Bush legacy

1 comment August 3rd, 2008

Earlier today (three posts down from this one), we shared with you a few serious assessments of George W. Bush’s presidency from opposite sides of the ideological spectrum.

Here’s a look at the Bush legacy from an entirely satirical perspective:

Another reason why Mitt won’t get veep slot

Last week, I told you HERE of certain evangelicals who are opposed to the idea of John McCain choosing Mitt Romney as his running mate.

And then there’s the likelihood that Democrats would attack Romney for having made millions of dollars downsizing companies he acquired as a private equity investor (see HERE).

Darn socialists!

This guy SAYS that a certain kind of socialism practiced by both political parties is leading America to the brink of rack and ruin.

In one convenient little package, we have HERE two sides of the argument over George W. Bush’s place in history.

Try this one on family or friends:

What one thing comes to mind when you ponder these words as a group?:

Black, white, brown, gray, strong, moody, chase, hunt, stone, field, woods, story, burger, brewer, frankfurter, butler and day.

To be fair about this, you should not turn to Google or any other Internet search engine. Register your guesses in the comments section, and I’ll acknowledge the first correct answer (which, of course, has to match the one thing that was on my mind when I put that list of words together).

This little quiz is just for entertainment purposes. No wagering, please.

UPDATE: After nearly 12 hours, nobody has even ventured a guess.

The answer is that all those words are surnames of former U.S. Supreme Court justices.

Jonathan Alter (whose mother, Joanne, was a casual acquaintance of mine in a campaign in which we both worked 38 years ago) has a GOOD COLUMN in Newsweek, lamenting the sad transformation of the John McCain he once knew and admired.
