@FurtiveParsnip: Yeah, because cheating on your wife with a White House intern is totally on the same level as the President's college-age daughters getting boozed up.
Definitely not a GWB fan, but political vitriol like this just makes me disappointed.
@engineerd: Unregular's not a troll. He's just minimally-dimensional, really. I'd say he's like my dog when it comes to tennis balls, but since she also does frisbee, agility, and basic herding, enjoys both hot weather AND cold weather, and pees and poops on command, all while profoundly understanding the concept of "Relax"..... well, that's where the comparison ends.
@beercheck: As someone who identified himself as a republican until about 2003, then pretty much gave up on the whole thing, I'm getting a kick out of Obama being president.
After all, we spent ~6 years listening to leftist bitching, and really it's refreshing to hear from an entirely different group of angry politically active people.
I don't think Obama's The One or any such nonsense, but I will say that I'll gladly take the mistakes he's going to make over GWB's or McCain's.
And for the record, Bush was a barely grown up douchebag frat guy with a sith lord for a VP who drove this country's reputation into the ground and failed to grasp the complexities of the duties of his job better than a stoned 16 year old could've.
@beercheck: You've got your dog trained to pee and poo on command... that's impressive, I would get into soooooo much trouble if I had a pet that I could tell to sh*t on things.
@something_unique_and_descriptive: Well, she's also a bit of a free-thinker, so a "you've got to be kidding" reaction from her is common when I step over the line. Keeps me out of trouble sometimes.
@Lizawithazee: The first family gets secret service protection for life. Even though Bush is out of office, he and his family could still be a target by some deranged lunatic.
This was actually an issue when Hillary went into the Senate as many Senators thing they should also get secret service protection.
I always had a thing for the Bush girls. Mmmmmm...I dreamt of a threesome with them for a long time.
I always wanted to, mid-coitus, yell, "Who's your daddy?" to one of them.
Full Disclosure: I voted for Bush twice and, with the exception of his less-than-conservative domestic policies, thought he was not as bad as the media and left-wing nutroots make him out to be.
I wasn't old enough to vote in '00, but I happily pulled the lever for Bush in '04. And "happy" is not a word I'd use to describe my vote for McCain last year...

It's not like Jenna was driving. And you'd think the Secret Service wouldn't just park the limo on the street and wander off. Doesn't someone stay with it, and threaten to shoot the meter maid?

@Dr.Danger and the Masters of the Jalopniverse: Just to point out that the ability to do sub-prime mortgages (the main reason for this mess) was created by Bill Clinton. Next it took GW 8 years and a war to spend a trillion, Obama took about 3 months to do the same. My main point is the blame game needs to stop and Americans in general need to take responsibility and be accountable for their actions or inaction.
@Trembler: Just to point out, what you attribute to WJC was actually Jimmy Carter's baby. Also that program was designed to get the working poor into homes, not to put social climbing dipshits into fancy houses that they couldn't afford. That particular innovation came about when the assholes who write these loans decided that they could make long green off the dipshits. This, combined with the increasingly shady financial instruments created by scum-sucking shitbags who figured they could cash out before the shit hit the fan and be sunning themselves in the Bahamas with a pile of cash when the bills came due is more to blame than anything else I've seen or heard about. Putting this mess in Clinton's lap is misguided party-line dittoism at best and intentional bullshit at worst.
Kind of ironic when cast in the light of your "main point", isn't it?

@I may have a 35 mile commute with my beater Mercedes: Diplomatic immunity is worth exactly shit when the tow yard already has your car. Besides, the time to raise that issue would have been when the tickets were issued, not after they've gone into default and the vehicle has been towed.

Oh, I read it. She'll never likely have to drive anywhere or own a car.
I figured the Secret Service had bonehead bleedover. I am surprised they don't have some sort of diplomatic-like immunity, though.
