:lol: Don't worry about that 171NewYork. It'll never happen.

1. George W. Bush is not Catholic.
2. He is an American and there probably won't be an American pope.
3. The Catholic Church as a whole is against the current situation in Iraq.

No, I think that the world of comedy can survive without him....although admittedly with the mess he left behind, we could all use as many laughs as we can get.

Whether his elections were corrupted or not a substantial number of Americans voted for him twice. They got what they deserved. The rest are simply screwed. But that's democracy.

It's "the Best Democracy Money Can Buy".

Personally, I chalk it up more to problems with First Past the Post, an imperial executive (and I'm including the VP here), and new robber baron financiers.

Plus, the real executive (Cheney) was always hidden (sort of like with the Reagan Admin - where Donald Regan was the man feeding the actor scripts).

My favorite quote about Coolidge:
When Dorothy Parker heard that Coolidge had died her comment was"How could they tell?"

The real and sad problem is that far too many people "misunderestimated" George W. Bush, and elected him President because they severely overestimated his ability to serve as President, and could not perceive the coming disasters that he was deadset on creating.

People just looked at his sincere-looking puppy-dog eyes, and either felt sorry for him or felt that he had some level of moral superiority (because of his church affiliations), and voted for the idiot based on that.

*A couple jokes made while Bush was still in office*

---A couple years has gone by and America has not heard a word from Osama bin Laden. The Oval Office one day received what appeared to be a coded message in the mail that appeared to be from bin Laden himself, to show that he was still in the game. The letter was placed on Bush's desk.
The message read:
"370HSSV 0773H"
Bush read the letter over and over, but could not decipher it. He sent it to Cheney, and he couldn't figure it out. Cheney sent it to Rummy, who then passed it on to Condi and when it was sent to a linguist, the linguist rung up Bush and said, "You had the letter upside down, Mr. President."

---With his approval ratings, Bush decided to end the War On Terrorism once and for all. After a lot of hard work he was able to get in contact with Osama bin Laden. He made an offer: Both Bush and bin Laden will each spend the next year breeding the biggest, meanest, and horrifying dog the world had ever seen. Then they would take their dogs to a highly publicized dogfighting match and the winner would be the winner of the War and have control over the USA.
After a year, the two competitors showed up with their dogs. Bin Laden had a mutated pit bull and Bush simply had a giant weener dog. The shot was fired and the horrifying pit bull was running straight at Bush's weener dog, which was standing there. Bush's dog opened up it's mouth and bin Laden's dog ran right into it's belly. Bush was the winner. Bin Laden asked, "How could this happen?"
Bush said, "Oh, I had Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon fix up a crocodile up to look like a weener dog.

As a self appointed representative of chimpanzee dignity I object to the comparison.

Dubya is not quite as stupid as that. Recall that he is a qualified jet pilot. I am a pilot myself (not in jet propelled aircraft, however) and I can tell your for sure a totally stupid person cannot become a qualified pilot. Dubya and John Kerry had the same grade point average in college.

I think Dubya permitted himself to become blind to certain conditions of the world and he allowed himself to be overly influenced by Darth Cheney and Dumb Donny Rumsfeld. That shows a lack of wisdom, perhaps, but not stupidity.

Your man Obama has not showed all that much wisdom and skill in the art of governance. After nearly a year and a half since he was elected, he is still out compaigning rather than governing.
