So, how about that George Bush, and what a fucktard he is ...?

Or the origin of the word 'fucktard'. I know what fuck is. What is tard?

 

[cantdog]

tard

Truncation of "retard," which in turn is a truncation of "retardate."

Tard, crip, crazy.

I know this -- deep down -- but that doesn't stop me from thinking "leotard" when I see "tard" tacked on to a word.

I don't know if that's very accurate zack. He's sitting in the white house for a second term. He has gotten more out of congress that he wanted than any president in recent history. He has taken care of his freinds and his core is happy with him. He garnered more votes than anyone ever and his margin in the popular vote is nothing to scoff at.

I would say he is a very shrewd man, even if his chief claim to brillance is surrounding himself with people who are smarter than he is. The fact that he seems to recognize their intelligence and accept it shows a distinct lack of ego, one that would have served a lot of presidents well in the past.

I am not saying he is an admirable figure on the world stage, but he has accomplished a great deal and it is pretty short sighted and petty to ignore that.

I think the best comparrison for him is the figurehead President of a major corporation. The real power is on the board of directors. His job is to give the board a "face" and to suck up the abuse when unpopular policy is implemented. As far as that goes, he has succeeded beyond the imaginings of most of us.

You don't have to like him, but an objective assessment of him comes to the undeniable conclusion he has been wildly successful within a limited sphere. Since that limited sphere seems to be his chief concern, it seems to me you have to give him a lot of credit.

Consider his accomplishments:

1. He got his war, two of them in fact, both of which were economic bons to his supporters.

2. He has begun his assault on Roe v Wade a key component to his handlers assurity of the support of the religious right next election.

3. He has curtailed the rights and privacy of citizens, a key component of the Law & order crwod which asures their votes next time around.

4. He has avoided stink with an adeptness even Clinton must envy. No-bid contracts, torture, Gitmo, Patriot act, etc. None of it has stuck to him, at least not where it matters, with those who supported him.

5. He has handed the oppostion crushing defeats, from elctoral margins, to govenorships, to losses in house and senate, even in mid term elections. Such crushing defeats in fact, that the Democrats are reviewing their stance on critical issues like abortion and same sex marriage. In fact one of the front runners for chairman of the DNC is a staunch anti-abortionist.

By any standards as an administrator he deserves his props. Obviously, in a much broader context, the man has been dreadful. I don't think he cares about the broader context however. And without that broader context as reference, he is without a doubt, a highly successful president.

My friends IRL know that when I want to change topics, I say something about the Cubs. I hate sports, so the only reason to mention them is to make people talk about something else.

I'd rather not talk about George. Thinking about him depresses me.

That still leaves the question of what a fucktard is. Someone too stupid even to be able to fuck? Someone so besotted by sex they have nothing left of their brains anymore? It's a lovely word, but a little obscure.

He is sooooo mis-understood, peoples think he is a fucktard but he is really just a normal retard.

In his defense I will say I kinda wonder what decisions he might make if he ever made any, rather than letting his hand-picked idiots make all decisions for him.

And he's definitely not a fucktart - a delectable, fuckable, tasty little morsel.
