Five Good Things About George W. Bush

Frank Mucci
Like many people, I enjoy a difficult challenge; so I decided I would try to come up with five good things about our current president. With the man's incredible record of incompetence and his approval rating melting like the wicked which in The Wizard of Oz, that is one hell of a major challenge! Sure, it would be much easier to make a long, endless list of bad things about The Commander in Chief ("He started a war in which thousands have died for no apparent reason," and "He's a dimwit" are just a couple of things that quickly come to mind), but as I said, I like a real challenge; so here goes...

1. He likes baseball. I like baseball too. He also likes to pick his nose while watching baseball, which I must admit I do on occasion. The only difference is I prefer to do it in the privacy of my own home. Nevertheless, it is obvious that Mr. Bush would make one hell of a shortstop because he sure knows how to go deep into the hole.

2. He's a better singer than Sanjaya. Of course I am just making an assumption here. I've never actually heard the President sing, but everybody's better than Sanjaya. So we'll just give him this one by default.

3. He hasn't puked on any world leaders yet. His daddy can't say that. Back in '92, George Herbert Walker Bush tossed his cookies right in the lap of Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa. Of course Dubya did pass out once while choking on a pretzel and ended up smashing his face on the floor, which I don't think his daddy ever did. But I guess puking on someone is a bit worse than choking and passing out, so we'll give Jr. this one too.

4. He's never shot anybody in the face. Not that he has to; that seems to be the Vice President's job.

5. He pulled the troops out of Iraq. No, wait...that hasn't happened. He's a better singer than Sanjaya. Nope, used that one already. Let me see... Oh hell, that's four things anyway. Four is pretty good, right?

So there you have it. I almost came up with five good things about George W. Bush.

Now for my next big challenge: One Good Thing about Dick Cheney.

1. Never mind, I can't think of one.

    There's another good thing about him now. He's gone!

    Stellar! I'm browsing the internet trying to help a colleague of mine with a persuasive speech assignment for her speech class. "I think that George W. Bush is doing a great job because..." Her teacher either 1) Does not like her or 2) things that she can be creative enough to pull this off.

    I will say however this, your article really didn't help me at all, but it sure the hell made me laugh. Thanks

    I thought this was hilarious! Those who criticize it are probably big fans of Sanjaya. :-/

    This is stupid
    it's like you are trying to hard to be funny..

    and back it up with FACTS

    Very funny. I commend you for taking the challenge the few mortal men would try!

    Dude, read the Constitution. The job of shooting people in the face is assigned to the Vice President in Section 5 Clause 8. Bah! Liberals.

    Very funny, and if I haven't already, I'm about to subscribe to your work!

    Sometimes humor speaks the truth! Great job! Heard about you in your interview with Don Pennington.

    President Bush is just an average good old boy who was forced into the gig, I still doubt that he really wanted the job.

    I've got one for Cheney: He is mortal, meaning he will die. And, hopefully, in office. And, hopefully, quite painfully. And, hopefully, in Iraq.
