George W. Bush, Hero of Albania! At least there's one place in the world where they show the Decider some love.
That was a wonderful reverse-Borat moment Sunday, with the joyous townspeople of Fushe Kruje yelling "Bushie! Bushie!" and Albania's prime minister gushing over the "greatest and most distinguished guest we have ever had in all times." The crowd pressed in for autographs, photographs, a presidential peck on the cheek. Years from now, in his dotage, Bushie will feel warm all over when he recalls those magical hours in Albania. How they adored him!
Outside of greater Tirana, however, the president's stock as an apostle of freedom continues to fall -- and rightly so. Even as Albania swooned, the rest of Europe was digesting a blue-ribbon report issued Friday about the abduction, secret detention and abusive interrogation of suspects in Bush's "war on terror."

This, I am convinced, is how future generations will remember George W. Bush: as the president who abandoned our traditional concepts of justice and human rights, choosing instead a program of state-sponsored kidnapping, arbitrary detention and abusive interrogation techniques such as "waterboarding."
We will remember him for the Iraq war, of course. But I hope and believe we will give at least as much weight to his erosion of our nation's fundamental values and basic character. -snip-

Hey, Eugene.....President Bush will be remembered.
Much more than anybody can say about you!
Militant
So where's the proof, Eugene?
He sure will. He'll be remembered as the Republican president who destroyed the Republican party and assured Democrat majorities forever through his misguided "path to citizenship" for millions of illegal invaders.
Yawn.
Bushie???? Bushie ??? A Washington Post reporter called the President of the Unitd States BUSHIE in a published article? That got by the editors? Reads like DU. Shame on the WaPo.
So what do YOU think the effect of 12 million more Democrat voters is going to do for the polity of the United States, genius-boy???
Do we have a thread on the “blue ribbon” report Robinson is talking about?
I don't know. Very few can accurately predict the future.
But the anti-immigration tirade on every singl thread saying the same thing over and over is boring.
So you believe that all these new voters will vote Republican??
It's a shame you find the political demise of conservatism "boring".
Uh...did I say what I believed? No. I merely said few can predict the future.
you find the political demise of conservatism "boring".
No, that would not be boring. It's reading the same immigration comments on every single thread...even the non-immigration ones. That's what's boring.
Just say NO to Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!

“But the anti-immigration tirade on every singl thread saying the same thing over and over is boring.”
This is one of the most foolish things I have seen in a long time. POTUS_GWB is in the middle of destroying this great republic, and you are bored when people are sounding the alarm.
Yesterday, I was wondering if there were any Bushbots left on FR, because I was so glad to see so many people realizing that Pres. Bush is on a tear to legalize law-breaking.
That's what I'm trying to find out. In your opinion, will all these newly legalized voters support Democrats or will they support Republicans??
No, must when they leap onto every single thread and say the same thing.
In my opinion, ALL of them will not vote one way or the other.
But I'm more interesting in the Albanian story at the moment.
The house is burning down.
I would EXPECT everyone to keep yelling “Fire” until it is put out.
Yes, that's obvious that you expect that.
But in actuality some will yell, others will do something about it, and still others will keep the rest of the world operating.
Nice weasel. OK, let's put it another way. What percentage of them do you thing will support Democrats??
Sigh. I didn’t post this thread for another scuffle over immigration. I’ve read plenty of those already.
