It's ronery at the top
where is Bush on this list?
Never #1, awways the bwides maid... *sniff*

Darn. And he thought that those platform shoes, nifty new hairdo and cool sunglasses, coupled with a spectacular atomic bomb detonation would have made him #1 for sure this year.
Someone is going to face the firing squad for this.
I'm sure Bush is #1 on the DUmmies list.
I thought he moved into first a week or so ago.
Oh ... Never mind.
Hah! Beat you to it!
blame it on your handlers
"where is Bush on this list?"
Ten spots below Hillary.
Excuse, the pun in this is Kim is seeking attention all the time. By making him number two it would piss him off.
"Ah, but of course!"
#1 Pelosi
Pelosi is Democracy's Dominatrix...or is that Hillary....
Well, don't let Bush hang him.
Sorry, forgot the sarcasm /s/ tag.
OH so roaney be second to first LOL!
