Time for a lolcats style caption contest, me thinks.

Cartoon bubble/cloud thought captions…
Bush” Wait ’til you see what I do for MLB as Commish!”

Is it too late for McCain to kick Palin off the ticket, and add Paulson? That would change the game pretty dramatically.
Conversely, if Obama could get a commitment from Paulson to stay on as Treasury Secretary, he’d own November 4.

Duno, Paulson seems to scare folks ’cause he’s kina elite-looking. Personally, though I must say Paulson makes Bush look really small — almost as small as he really is.

Ahhh… the Bush legacy.
He’s finally getting an inkling that the history books are going to be written a lot sooner than 50 years from now. He WILL get to read them in his lifetime.
He might have fooled himself about Iraq – but this?
You can tell he never saw THIS coming.

Yeah, but I’ll bet his dad did.

The public humiliation, that is.

Hank Paulson made partner at GS by the time he was 38 – two years before GWB decided to sober up and stop living like a frat boy.
And they both know it.

So did members of his Dad’s cabinet. Scowcroft was scathing in his comments on the war.
Armand: You are exactly right.
There may be no justice but karma is absolute.

“…stop living like a frat boy.”
He did?

I just had a striking thought. It was not long after his administration began that we saw him looking bewildered on 9/11.
Now here we are at the end of the line and he’s got that same look again.
Our next stop is Oblivion. All passengers must exit.

I’m just glad he’s got Paulson to take the reins this time.
On 9/11, it was Cheney who stepped in to fill the breech, and we all know how that played out.
And when Katrina hit, there was no one to step in at all. Only Brownie, who couldn’t even figure out what to wear for the press conference.

His utter failure to protect and defend this country on September 11, 2001, his complete failure to bring the Iraq War (a war that he lied his way into) to a successful conclusion, his insipid inattention to Katrina, and his brain dead neglect of an economic crisis that many saw months and even years ago, assure George W. Bust’s place in history as the worst president in the history of the United States.
That unavoidable realization, I believe, is the look you see on his face in this picture.
His “faith” has been broken.
He is an obstinate, incompetent little man who had everything handed to him, including this economic crisis.
Bootstrap that you arrogant sons of privilege.
Everyone who voted for him owes everybody in the world an apology.
W is for Worst

And while we’re at it, forget all this weak kneed fear of being called an elitist nonsense, anyone who votes for the Republican candidate for president, whoever that is, in this election is worse than stupid.

And lastly, “Country First” my fanny.

VBM-Cheers from the peanut gallery! Bravo!

I’ll have whatever he’s having.

The Republicans have demonstrated with stunning clarity that they hate government so deeply that they look for the absolutely least qualified person they can find to run it.
The Reagan Counter Revolution ® took thirty years, but it finally managed to drown the government, not in a bathtub as advertised, but rather in an ocean of debt.
