  • skewl, on 07/22/2008, -56/+6Hopefully they will remember him as the person who established a true democracy in a Muslim country in the middle east.
    • akston, on 07/22/2008, -3/+42Bwa-hahaha.
    • mattcarreiro, on 07/23/2008, -1/+25Hopefully you meant that sarcastically
    • cobophers, on 07/23/2008, -2/+8Good one...I saw the exact point on lolcats.
    • blacktriangle, on 07/23/2008, -3/+11Just like the true Democracy in the US, right?

      /sarcasm
      • leladax, on 07/23/2008, -13/+2Just like the true Democracy in the US, right?

        /not sarcasm
    • LukasSmith, on 07/23/2008, -23/+1The Emo kids are on again.
      Darkness doom cut my wrists and gloom.
      Life tragic want to die.
      I am Emo.
      When I die dont cry.
      I am Emo.
      Seriously I don't think these kids watched enough Disney movies when they were kids. They just have no hope. Well at least we know the Emo's can't wait for Iraq to implode. Maybe then they will know what happiness feels like.

    • spkrcity, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5Actually, the first true democracy in Iran was when Mohammed Mosadeq was elected President. Too bad our CIA overthrew him and installed the oppressive Shah.
  • DesignNerd, on 07/22/2008, -7/+27Lebanon? Turkey? We don't even have a true democracy HERE! Idiot.
    • anagoge, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2You forgot Poland!
    • tkotam, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Crystal Skull... Ahhhahhahhhhhahhhhaaaaa... :-0
    • aikimann, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4Nor should we... ever. We're a representative republic and the found fathers absolutely FEARED a true democracy recognizing that absolute mob rule would be the downfall of the country.

      "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship."

      -Alexander Fraser Tyler in "The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic"

      This situation sound familiar to anyone?
    • randomsniper, on 07/26/2008, -0/+0"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

      "The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:

      From bondage to spiritual faith;

      from spiritual faith to great courage;

      from courage to liberty;

      from liberty to abundance;

      from abundance to complacency;

      from complacency to apathy;

      from apathy to dependence;

      from dependence back again into bondage."

      Penned by Professor Alexander Tyler over 200 years ago while we were still a British Colony.

  • MacSuxWindozSux, on 07/22/2008, -7/+13Bomb Iran and Iraq all while North Korea detonates prototype nuclear weapons.
    • TxAggie08, on 07/22/2008, -2/+14War with North Korea to stop its nuclear program was never a realistic option, unless of course you believe tens of thousands of American KIAs to be acceptable losses. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of South Koreans in the sights of north Korean artillery. They have been digging in for that war for 50 years. I mean, i guess we could nuke them but that might be the only thing we could do to make us more hated around the world. Also, unless I'm mistaken, we haven't bombed Iran.
    • cm32438, on 07/22/2008, -3/+12It's precisely because of the fact that NK tested a nuke that we don't attack them. It's called Mutually Assured Destruction. Why do you think Iran wants to be a Nuclear power?
      • cm32438, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Ok, I may have overstated my point, and I agree there are plenty of reasons not to attack North Korea, not solely because they have tested a weapon.

        But they do have a nuclear program, and now we send them food and money to persuade them to shut it down. Iran wants nuclear technology - in their words - for power generation...and if they were to create a weapon with it?? So what. Who have they attacked in your lifetime? How many nukes do other countries (even some around them) have? US? Pakistan? Israel?

        The US has proven itself the only nation crazy enough to actually nuke another country...twice...and MAD seemed to hold true during the cold war when 'the commies' had thousands of bombs. Now it's 'the terrorists'. They're the new monster under your bed when you're trying to sleep at night.

        I'm tired of this ***** already...and I'm probably rambling like the drunken fool I am.
  • wazzu07, on 07/22/2008, -31/+1The onion is le stupid.
  • poprocksandsoda, on 07/23/2008, -20/+2My favorite is "Bush To Make Up Missed National Guard Service this weekend". Warms me to remember Dan Rather's "storied" career coming to a close because he allowed that fraudulent crap to get on the air. Too bad blogs like Huffington Post are subjected to the same level of journalistic ethics, but of course that's what makes them blogs and not reliable sources of information.
  • lougoose, on 07/23/2008, -12/+1First one took me a second, but I got the first one.

    Then I realized what would happen if I actually did that.
  • BillMoocho, on 07/23/2008, -9/+57Regarding the first picture, I'd hit it.
  • srt4b, on 07/23/2008, -11/+1Those were pretty bad.
  • Tenn0, on 07/23/2008, -20/+1Countdown until dozens of Bush-hating lemmings attack...
    3...
    2...
    1...
    • acroyear2, on 07/23/2008, -0/+13We're not lemmings. We actually do hate Bush on our own personal level with our own motivations and impetus. It's true. He really is that bad.
    • mattcarreiro, on 07/23/2008, -1/+6yes ... countdown untill 72% of the U.S. "Bush hating lemming" citizens speak their mind
  • LordoftheLoo, on 07/23/2008, -7/+1It all makes sense now!
    George Bush wrote, directed, and produced the newest Indiana Jones movie as an autobiography but forgot to change the name!
  • OffPiste, on 07/23/2008, -9/+65Greatest US President in the 21st century.
    • jsauter, on 07/23/2008, -0/+39George W. Bush - Setting the Bar Low
    • PoonGnarfler, on 07/23/2008, -3/+1Is it bad that I think he actually kinda looks like the now old Harrison Ford in the last picture? (Just glimpse quickly)
    • yahoofrom, on 07/23/2008, -4/+2George Bush great president or the greatest president?
      • djkubik, on 07/28/2008, -0/+0First off Ron Reagan was the Greatest President. Second you must put that in quotes and give Stephen Tyrone Colbert credit. Colbert for VP 08'.
    • Elizle, on 07/24/2008, -1/+6What about the 20 days Clinton was President in 2000?
  • Fuxsit, on 07/23/2008, -4/+13there arent enough words in the English language to properly display my utmost dismay at our President
    I think the only thing other countries will remember about him is his famous quote
    "good bye from the worlds biggest polluter"
    /punch air repeatedly
  • LukasSmith, on 07/23/2008, -18/+1Seriously what will these Emo kids do if Iraq does become a successful democracy? Ah don't worry. Most of these kids probably don't even know who Bill Clinton is. No doubt whoever is the next president they will make sure they take full credit if Iraq becomes successful and blame Bush if it doesn't.
    • fmaxwell, on 07/29/2008, -0/+1LukasSmith, I've told you to stop posting unless you have something useful to say. What you have posted in this thread is just more of your worthless crap.

      Who the ***** cares whether Iraq becomes a successful democracy? The big excuse for invading Iraq was "weapons of mass destruction" -- which never were found. Thousands of Americans lost their lives over there already and for what? So that we could put the country on the brink of civil war, kill tens of millions of its citizens, and turn it into the world's biggest recruiting station for Al Qaeda? Yeah, brilliant piece of strategy there.

      Are you suggesting that we should invade every country that does not embrace our form of democratic elections? How about China? North Korea? Zimbabwe? Equatorial Guinea? Saudi Arabia? Vatican City?

      And just how the ***** do you propose funding these wars? Bush has already driven our country to the verge of bankruptcy finding the existing wars. By the way, your share of that war is approaching $2,000! But you can't pay it off. You can just continue paying interest on the debt with your taxes.
  • tones1, on 07/23/2008, -10/+2My fantasy is to get caught ***** on the beach.
  • ran310, on 07/23/2008, -7/+14Somehow I dont think Jenna Bush deserves to take the flak for her father's misdeeds.

    That said ... it was pretty funny :)
  • acroyear2, on 07/23/2008, -4/+52I never found Jenna attractive until they referred to her vag as "wetlands".
    • xptoast, on 07/23/2008, -3/+6mmm bush... I imagine some wouldn't mind looking around in that one.
    • msheidi, on 07/23/2008, -12/+1guess you think of chelsea as a hot super model (barf)
  • Rodalli, on 07/23/2008, -4/+17Wow, look at the number of diggtards that can't take a joke ruining a hilarious submission by turning it into a soapbox for their political tirades. Shoot me now, Digg, shoot me now.
    • rabidjester, on 07/23/2008, -2/+5Lot of freeper types in here recently. They seem to come in waves, I think every now and then some right wing blogs link to things here. The left wing types aren't much better, but they do seem more able to handle humor.
    • d722002, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Consider yourself shot.
  • NecroDigg, on 07/23/2008, -8/+7I'd hit it
  • mlagana, on 07/23/2008, -23/+2STUDY FINDS ONION ARTICLES "NOT FUNNY"
  • destron, on 07/23/2008, -12/+2Too bad most of them are so obviously 'shopped.
  • YodaJones, on 07/23/2008, -11/+5Dear Mr. Putin, Please nuke Bush's home in Texas this Christmas. If we're lucky you'll get the whole family and Cheney and Rumsfeld will be there too.
    Thank you.
  • jaej, on 07/23/2008, -13/+1Lame. Like these comments.
  • wannapiece, on 07/23/2008, -10/+16Show your support for Bush and Bury Me!
  • DJAndy32, on 07/23/2008, -4/+0Last one made me laugh.
  • leladax, on 07/23/2008, -6/+5I'D HIT IT.
  • charm803, on 07/23/2008, -3/+13"Cheney Regrets Buying Bush Laser Pointer"

    ha ha
    • goddessophia, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3I thought this was the funniest of them all!
  • wondertwins, on 07/23/2008, -8/+1My dog can photoshop better in some of these pictures
    • mattcarreiro, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5thats part of what makes the onion what it is. its self mocking
  • MrEthiopian, on 07/23/2008, -8/+3Personally I think she is hot, but my dick hangs to the left, far left.

    Think she would have me, once you go left you can’t go back, because you know right is wrong.

    MrEthiopian
    • acroyear2, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3um, why did you just tell me which way your dick hangs?
      • 1timeuser, on 07/23/2008, -2/+2Well mine has several little red bumps that itch on it. What do you think of that?!
      • MrEthiopian, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1How could you not understand “My dick hangs to the left” Left wing / Right wing, basically I’m saying I am a left wing liberal.
    • MrEthiopian, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2How could you not understand “My dick hangs to the left” Left wing / Right wing, basically I’m saying I am a left wing liberal.
  • Kr0nyk, on 07/23/2008, -2/+2I'd hit it with Jenna's freshly drilled wetlands.
  • thatsapaddlin, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5First I laughed mildly at the political irony, then I realized it was a sexual reference, and proceeded to literally spit water out of my mouth laughing.
  • 4d669, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4This will end badly
  • MicahT0078, on 07/23/2008, -1/+15Dugg for the Jenna caption. Although, the googled wetlands pics make them seem a bit overgrown and unkempt. Maybe her new husband can convince her to take hedge clipper to that *****.
  • diceau, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6Although Dubya deserves this disrespect, I can see him in her, and that's just gross.
  • dhVyse, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6Dugg for "Long-Awaited Beer With Bush Really Awkward, Voter Reports". I mean *****, he is drinking an ODULES, that's not even beer.
    • manova, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4Right, because he is an alcoholic and doesn't drink any more.
  • jthill, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5I regard George Bush as wholly and actively given over to evil.

    But this is disgusting. His DAUGHTER?

    Gee, thanks. Now I have to deal with actually being angry on George III's behalf.
  • jazzguitar18, on 07/23/2008, -2/+4damn the photo shopped crystal skull looked better than the prop used in the new Indiana Jones movie... probably because it was a real crystal skull.
  • TheMightyDane, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4Another Bush I wanna hit..
  • Henk73, on 07/23/2008, -4/+1
    dirty oil?

    wetlands? ahemmm
    drilling? ahemmm
    a bush? ahemmm

    on another webpage this would mean something completlly different
  • grneye53, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3But just like the beer & beer company he'll be gone too!
  • dvt891, on 07/23/2008, -1/+0Rest assured George Walker Bush you will sure be remembered, as the best ****** ENTERTAINER of the century!
  • say592, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2Maybe with beer goggles.
  • sts9junkie, on 07/28/2008, -0/+0^^^ya think she'd be a good *****? nahhh...dubya's daughter...uuuuptight
