    The first American prezzie I was aware of.

    His presidency gave the Simpsons some great moments. The (brilliant) episode that features him, obvs, but also taking the piss out of the infamous Willie Horton campaign ad.

    RIP.

    Exactly. He had so much more to give.

    Terrible when young men are cut down in their prime.

    What a family in fairness, two Presidents and a Governor in Jebb.

    The matriarch Barbara nee Pierce was also a Great Great grand daughter of Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the USA . Democrat

    The 2 terms mentioned related to the son as someone said he bred the idiot son .....
    The response was that idiot was president for 2 terms.

    Born into a wealthy family and raised with a silver spoon...despite that he enlisted and fought in WW2 as a pilot, flying over 42 missions and getting shot down by the Japanese...that is bravery whatever why you look at it.

    He then entered public service and ended up head of the secret service, CIA and president...some life even if you disagree with his policies....

    It’s funny to watch the comments by Irish people this morning calling him a war mongorer which is fair enough but those same keyboard warriors will kneel at the house of Obama despite him dropping bombs like confetti.

    They say Director of the CIA is the most important job in the country.



    They know more than the pres and are not obliged by law to indulge.

    Your implying I’m a racist which is a total lie...your twisting my argument. I also never called Bush a hero...I said enlisting in the military was brave because he didn’t have to. My point is Bish, Obama etc...there is no difference it’s US foreign policy.

    Now run along...

    The black man was a bomber though. Does he get exemptions for killing Yemeni because he is black? That’s tough on them, if true.

    So what if he was? So he had some amazingly corrupt bast@rds behind him to get him two terms.
    Glad you are you in awe of the all the dead he left in his wake. "Mission Accomplished".

    George W Bush was "slotted" into the role. His whole life is a farce. His PhD is a joke. His pilots lisence (Turned up 6 times for training) and military service (mothballed bomber held back and saved from Vietnam) was a joke. He was put in there so Daddy could get Rumsfeld and Cheney to do the donkey work around the White house. Any business he ever touched ran into the ground including drilling in the middle east. He lost loads of other peoples money in private industry. Its a miracle how he got elected...... oh yeah Al Gore his old Yale/Skull and Bones buddy stepped down and loads of ballot boxes went missing in Dade county Florida.

    How could my boring life compete with that? Its all in his biography

    Remembers when The Simpson's dog chased him down the road.

    Homer: I guess you could say he's barking up the wrong Bush.

    Internal monologue: There it is Homer, the smartest thing you've ever said and nobody around to hear it.

    Have you not read the thread? He's been called a warmonger, an idiot and a terrorist. I personally think his biggest crime was being a bad neighbour.

    Let's be honest here. He was an "idiot" look at who's in office now. Do you think it actually takes brains to get in office? You get in with a network of great connections. At least that how it is generally. Ronald Reagan a bloody actor got in. The US presidency is not massively hinged on intelligence, at least not in the last 35 years.
