Shorter Ross Douthat;
George W. Bush’s last minute extra credit work pulled his GPA up to a solid D-. Pass!
Of course no mention of 9/11 happening on Bush’s watch. We all know Bill Clinton was still president that day.
I can’t believe the NYT actually cuts checks to this asshat.
Doubtthat is using the grading method they use on his home planet, Bizarro World. The more stupid you are the better the grade. That’s why only Repubiclickers pass in Doubtthat’s world. Frigging dumbass.
Ah, fahcrissakes, TARP was mosttly then Senator Obama. Not that I’d want that on my resume. Don’t believe me? Ask Elizabeth Warren or read the NYT archive. The surge in Iraq? Please. We’re still there and there’s no success.
Rose is just a closet homo who passed on a pretty nifty rack, I say so myself. Lucky me, he was prolly a puker AND a crier.

When the hell will Bush ever take the blame for anything? He couldn’t even name a mistake that he made while president when directly asked. I’ll bet anything ‘ol shrub goes to bed at night with a clear conscience, knowing that he did his best and the Lord would never steer him wrong, even when his cabinet and advisors were. This is why, even though he may be a great guy personally and someone to have a beer with, he will come down to be one of our worst presidents.
And as for Douchehat, another column that at frist glance looks filling but does not taste great and really even isn’t all that filling.
TBogg, I saw Douthat’s column this morning & thought of you.
You really need to provide [and mock] more text so folks can see how truly insane he is.
It’s like he’s performing a do-it-yourself colonoscopy with his own face.
Ross;”It’s okay, even commendable, to be an arsonist as long as you call the fire department once the blaze is well underway.”
Ross forgot to mention how W fixed a major plumbing leak in the White House once by sticking a piece of grape Bubble Yum in the hole.
What fun. You’d get a beer and a demeaning nickname.
Oh it’s funnier than that.
What he’s saying is that Bush could have been a truly great President, if not for the rotten bad luck that the last minute extra credit work was focused on fixing his own monumental screw ups.
In other words, if you could just work toward fixing your screwups but not actually have made any– you’d be seen as a great, great President!
The subtext here seems to be that earnestness and good intentions count more than competence and results. If so then Ross is the greatest columnist evar!
My shorter Douchehat: “I still say that he had his tender, sensitive side, and the bruises have mostly faded and I only have blood in my urine maybe once a week now.”
Dunno why you bring to mind some other Cirque du Soleil-worthy verbal gymnastics (or should that be Shakira-worthy wiggling?):
“Our Iraq policy isn’t a failure, it’s just a success that hasn’t happened yet”
Ignorance is bliss, even when it’s willful.
Not gonna do it. I cannot clink on asshat any longer. Last time, I wanted to scrape out my intestines with a rusted fork. Who knows what may happen this time?
W. will be lucky if he doesn’t go down as one of the ten worst world leaders EVAH by the time history is done with him.
Jeb! paid Ross to write this.
You know, putting aside the snark for a minute, there’s a serious message here. In this disastrous economy, there’s a thriving cottage industry in rehabilitating W’s presidency. And sooner or later Ross will make the big time when he moves from that communist rag to the big time at NRO.
“Our iraq policy isn’t a failure, it’s just a success that hasn’t happened yet.” That sounds like a line from “The Producers.” Can I use it? I laughed out loud.
Note: Iraq policy quote from MaryCH above @ 12
In that picture Ross “Don’t” Douthat looks like he’s all dressed and groomed for the Morrissey concert. Gives a whole new meaning to the line about getting his hands on your mammary glands… wait, I’m getting mixed up, was that Moz or Chunky Reese?
“Our Iraq policy isn’t a failure, it’s just a success that
hasn’t happened yet.won’t happen because of those damned Democrats!”It still startles me to click on a link to a Rose Nylund, er, I meant Ross Douthat column and have the impersonal, clean font of the New York Times surrounding it.
But it doesn’t surprise me anymore…
