    Thank the stars that he can’t repeat this class again.

    It seems nothing is safe from King George the Dumb’s magical 30% (actually only 22% in this case). Bushco got 2 B’s out of 9 grades for a GPA of 1.77 (Less that his Yale GPA). Granny says he should have a 4.00 GPA since he is a perfect asshole.

    Bash on Bush–Click on Clyde!

    Looks like W’s high school transcript . . . except for the B’s.

    Another child left behind.

    And to think, the standard was, we had to be right 100% of the time.

    Five years later and the only “A” the Republicans got was by Foley. But then, Foley was the driving force behind, No child’s behind left.

    Well, Bush was a “C” student at Yale, so this is par for the course. The man has failed at every level at his life, why should this be any different?

    George probably figures those are great marks!

    Heckuva job Chertie…


  10. Babs Bush says:

    I’ll have the help put those grades right on the fridge with the Halliburton magnet


  11. Theresa says:

    No more war games, or TV, until they bring up those grades.


  12. RUCerious says:

    One might say, he hasn’t made the grade.

    I think when you start assuming all of your customers might be terrorists and don’t allow anyone to carry safety pins or toenail clippers on a flight, I think you’ve gone below “F” in Customer Service. Just my 2c

    Hey! This isn’t bad at all. Particularly for a coke head beer tap pulling frat boy!!!

    All those “responsibilities” take away from proper partying with people like Mr. Gannon.

    wisedup,

    The reason you can take matchbooks is Dubya & Cheney get a percentage off each matchbook sold. The have friends in the business, where as the lighter company donated to the Dem’s last election.

    Remember the “buy your duct tape and plastic sheeting” scare?

    The “Drity bomb” scare, where many scientists have debunked this, stating that unless you’re in the immediate blast area, you’re going to die from the blast, and not the radiation, most people will receive less radiation than they do getting an X-Ray at the dentist.

    It’s all about fear, control, and ultimately money.

    I would give them an F for humanitarian aid. Failure to fight global poverty is certainly not helping any problems we have with national security. Visit to learn more about the relationship between poverty and national security.

    Tell me something we all didn’t already know.
    Except maybe my b-in-law who was here last week from Florida. He knows all the talking points. He was a guest in my house and recently had a coronary, but it was all I could do to keep from strangling the stupid man. He feels “safer” because all the terrorists are confined to one country now where we can kill them eventually. Bush has done a “half-way decent job” as president. He hopes Giuliani runs for president.
    My sister-in-law had to separate us.
    He has always been ignorant, and has learned nothing over time.

    First off homeland security is not supposed to exist under the constitution, that’s the job of the militias which the media has tried to demonize. They call it a non-governmental agency or public entity but the government runs it completely with an Israeli citizen Chartoff. Open borders, giving away our ports to foreign countries like the Saudi’s and communist China in the deep port of Long Beach, Ca. which is next to navy bases and navy ports. Allowing the formation of the American Union to take place which involves the elimination of our borders. Katrina’s non-response are just a few justifications for a big fat F. Dismantle this useless entity which is just another useless government body we don’t need and yet we pay for. Homeland security is an oxy moron by definition.


  21. Jericho says:

    Bush has been bringing home those grades since first grade. It still didn’t stop him from ending up president. You know what thit means, Bush is up for another promotion. Maybe he can nominate himself for the soon-to-be-vacant post of UN secretary general. Sure there’s already chaos and injustice all over the world but Bush’s work is not yet done!
