Many a word has been used to describe George W. Bush. The most apt? “Honest,” said 31 of 751 respondents in a survey by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. But then came “incompetent” (26 votes) and “arrogant” (24), followed by array of lower-scoring labels spanning “integrity” and “weasel.” Overall, Pew judged the word choices to be 40 derogatory and 36 percent favorable. Say this for our 43rd president: He’s unlikely to be remembered as unremarkable.

If Rhonda were to be remembered as an adjective…
(I will be nice and not list any of mine)
The only nice description I can come up with is “on the way out.”
Heck he would have made a good democrat – or whatever he was told to be. Really, he’s probably a pretty nice guy, but people like Cheney and Rove and big corporations like Halliburton are EVIL. Just my opinion, I might be wrong. :)
“Flip-flopper” on the question of terminating anyone found to have been “involved” in the outing of Valerie Plame is appropriate.
Well, I’ve always thought of the Shrub as an Alfred E. Newman type.
One of my favorites is “Lame” as in “Lame Duck”. (I won’t go into the ones that start with “F”)
I’ve always liked “box of rocks”. “Dishonest” is fairly accurate, but doesn’t cover everything.
Because pain is such an easy thing to forget, this president will not be remembered by anyone within a few short years.
Re-elected is one of my personal faves.
You have to be elected before you can be re-elected. The supreme court stopped the Florida recount that gave the 2000 election to Bush. “Elected” in 2000 is a bit of a misleading term.
Amen brown. How soon we do forget. eh? Talk about abuse of power !
How about “Missunderestimated”?
Or how about “Idiot”. I hear there’s a village in Texas that’s missing one.
Here’s one I really like.
Former President,or Former president who resigned in disgrace.
You gotta be kidding.
Ed, look at my face. Do I look like I’m kidding?

Not you Snidely Whiplash, I was refering to Ronda being kidding.
Oh….ok.
How about “Babelicious”? Hoooo-eeey, I’d love to see the Pres in a speedo! Rawr!
No really, I actually like “misunderestimated”. That would be my pick.
Daft.
Puppet?
Daft Puppet.
Doofus?
An adjective that descibes Bush? Hmmmm how about WRONG. Definitive in many ways of the shrub I think.
I’m partial to ‘miscreant,’ which the OED defines as ‘depraved, villainous, base.’
So, for example, one could say, ‘is there any depth to which this miscreant Administration will not stoop, in the course of misrepresenting its actions and covering up its corruption?’
Has a nice ring to it, I think.
“Bush” should become a verb meaning “tell a despicable lie.”
Don’t “Bush” me, man.
Don’t listen to him, he’s a “Bush-er.”
I was “Bushed” before, I’m not going to get “Bushed” again.
I think “Chimpy” works.
Is being Bushed rather like being amBushed? Fits, don’t you think?
“Bushwhacked!”
Given the scope of the damage he has caused, I suggest we use his name in place of the other four letter word.
Hey! That’s pretty good too! Bush; the other four letter word. I like where Antares is going.Back to my original thought; Bush YOU!Oh Bush! Damn this Bush’in heat! What the Bush? I drank last night and got Bushed up. Don’t Bush with me!
How about “childish” – As in, “This blog is childish.” Thanks Rhonda, keep up the mediocre work.
Shrub is giving Alfred E. Newman a bad name. And if you aren’t earning over $500,000. a year, you, my friends, have been “Bushwhacked”.
Has anybody considered “Despot”?
How about “tin-pot Dictator”?
H0W ABOUT: Sharon must think he’s “Budda” with Bush on his knees in front of him. Surely it couldn’t be “that other thing,” or could it?……OH….MAN…SICK
Damn Ed, now you got me sick, LOL!
Well, What’s good enough for Iraqi “Detainees” is even better for Bushy-boy. Americans really hate Bush, that’s why he won’t read me! A taste of his own medicine?
Man, can I flush-out those Zionists or what? I love to hear them squeal and squeal they will at my new column. Wait for IT.
Because I am the greatest thing that ever happened to journalism, I get to name Bush: ” OLE YELLOWCAKE ”
Hammer, as my trusted assistant, explain to the multitude what that stands for. Please.
“Hammer, as my trusted assistant, explain to the multitude what that stands for. Please”
Ed, either you’ve lost your f**king mind, or someone is using your name.
Hammer, That’s a play on ole “yellowstain” { Capt. Quege {spl} Can’t think of the movie, but Bogart was looking for stolen strawberries. Best, Ed
That’s not the point. I’m not anybody’s “assistant”.
Hammer, Of course you’re not my “assistant.” Lighten-up. The written word doesn’t carry the humor very well, but you can help it out. Example: Aw yes, dear “ole Yellowcake” was our hero until we found him under Clinton’s desk helping “Monica.”
Chocolate layered YELLOWCAKE has long been known to be “radio active” and is the main ingredient in a ” Bushy-Bomb.”
I could be wrong, Ed, but wasn’t it the “The Cain Mutiny”?
Damoon, As my trusted “researcher” you are right. “The Cain Muinity” is correct. Now please do not bitch about being my “researcher.”
{ grumbling staffers }
“Sociopathic”.
TRAITOROUS!!!!!
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
Hey a blast from the past! I’ll play. WORST
An adjective for bush? Embarrassing
heres one : bushy
Pathological liar
I think bush should become it’s OWN adjective. The Germans have a word “gemutlich” it doesn’t have a clear meaning. It just conveys a sense of happy wonderfulness. “bush” would convey the opposite……the abject depths of misery and evil
“Boy king.”
oil whore
bed wetter
“The Chosen One”
Who pasted me?
