By Nicole Belle Monday Jan 19, 2009 8:30pmCourtesy of Sam Seder...George W. Bush keeps telling us that it's for historians to judge the success of his presidency, so thanks to Break Room Live, we travel into the future to find out what the historians think.

I didn't want to be "frist".
Many people knew that was going to happen before he was elected the first time!
But, I'm from the future also.

Maybe repubs are just hardcore health nuts now [tee hee]. Remember when they warned us of the ebils of Dunkin Donuts and their terrarrissstic scarves? They're only watching out for our health.
A good reminder that these whackjobs are still out there, no matter how much more important issues we have.
Props to the Miami New Times.

Sincerest apologies for the quadruple post. Weird error in comments

This country is in (inarguably) the biggest mess since the Great Depression and Georgie is concerned what HISTORIANS will think? It's "Teh Legacy" that matters?!!! C&L, even in jest, let's not see another thread like this. M'kay? Screw what Georgie thinks.
we've been saying that for 8 years.
Talk about the secret life of plants.
and ya cant get any lower than that
Great for growing those plants but hard to shovel up.
amongst other things like Chimpy's historic legacy
Its going to be a toss up who was the worst person in US history, GWB or Benedict Arnold.
The Great Depression happened on Herbert Hoovers watch and yet 79 years later, we hold him in such high regards today. A vacuum cleaner is named after him(because he sucked), plus a type of camping community(Hoovertown). Bush is only looking for the same sort of recognition.
As Barack Obama prepares to be sworn in as the 44th president of the United States, a new 17-nation poll conducted for the BBC World Service finds widespread and growing optimism that his presidency will lead to improved relations between the United States and the rest of the world.
just stops doing what preznit chucklenuts did, that should be an immediate improvement.
Granted, the bar is so low it's below grade, but how could they not be optimistic. He's black, has an Islamic name, and he is smart, sophisticated, and level headed. World opinion of the USA just took a major leap. We are walking the walk now. Cred comes from this kind of election result, not from the barrel of a gun.
... is that The Onion got it right back in January 2001 before Bush's inauguration.
comedy as prophecy.... whoo knoo?
.. is that it barely scratched the surface.
again last November.

Kinda like Christmas eve. Especially if you're more inclined to buy into the FSM rather than Jesus's Dad.
America, our long national nightmare is just about over. Good riddance shrub and darth and kinda lizard.
Yeah baby!
W00000Hoooooooo!
unlike the bible thumping Repugs partying like its 1699.
I like the Orb, but I was expecting a puddle of goo in human evolution. The Orb was very pleasing and relaxing to behold, so I guess its worth shooting for.
Don't bogart that Orb my friend.....
...interest me in the further life of George W. Bush:
1) His investigation
2) His indictment
3) His incarceration
4) His demise
All other "news" items about him can be sh*t-canned. Thank you.
Cheney is forced to attend the inauguration in a wheelchair. I wonder if he has to worry about his disability payments being gutted...Financial burdens for homeowners are unequal. Mexico is losing the War on Drugs. The next anticipated attack on NYC is an economic one in the form of job losses.

A dipshit who believes his legacy will outshine the facts of the day. Never seen that before.
World opinion has never been changed of American Presidents in a historical sense. The world hates GWB. America hates GWB. I hate GWB. That's the bedrock foundation your legacy is built upon. Sink now, mother fucker. Sink.
We all know what he has said and done over the last eight years,
and yet when the more disgusting details, the minutia and the indictments comes out, it can only get worse.
is he and his extremely secretive government leaving for the historians to study? As little as possible, they're even today fighting against court orders to disclose their e-mail correspondance, which actually belongs to the American people.

and the massive $900B increase is sept 08.
still pretty frightening, inflation is the outcome.
Maybe deflation. Not too many buyers out there with no jobs.
I cant say I ever have, sales of various types yes.
But I never have seen a across the board decline of say 10 or 20%.
Its anathema for shop keepers to lower prices, not in their nature,a nd their banks would crucify them if they reduced their incomes.
But over the last say three years, prices have gone up 20%.
but look at the holidat sales . Down. Ain't the free market wunnerful.
Clearance of old stock or junk that nobody would buy at normal prices.
And selective items to tease and entice people to come in.
Real price reductions across the board don't happen in the real shopping world, and if they did don't expect the store to be there next month.
but youhave to realize, these aren't normal sales. The market is going to decline until the working class has disposable income and they don't have it now.
Thats the only way lower prices come into effect,
big names vanish, bargain basement sellers spring up with minimal overheads.
Take for example Wallyworld, hell would have to freeze over first before they implement a 10% across the board price reduction.
If anything they will increase prices to make up for their potential cashflow problems, PR it as going upmarket.
this is 2009. They can't play by the old rules.
Will Coulter flip-flop after some 9/11 families demand Gitmo stays open? Barry's got a good astrology report. But then he isn't a Zero-Year President.
It's so awesome to see Crooks and Liars giving Break Room Live some love. I've been watching Sam and Marc for months now, starting back when the show was Maron Vs. Seder. These guys really need a shot. I'm glad AAR is giving them this opportunity, but they deserve so much more.
Keep giving them attention! They deserve it! :)

Am I the only one truly SICK of Nancy Disgrace and Casey Anthony? I don't normally have cable, but I currently do in my motel. I thought I'd flip back and forth between CNN and HLN for inauguration coverage. But nooo, Disgrace is still covering the Anthony case! WTF? They've got the suspect in jail, the body of the kid, etc. NOTHING else newsworthy will happen until trial. Disgrace, as a former attorney and present whore, should know this.
AWESOME sight!
Eat your heart out bush!!
me hope that someone inspected them recently...

Seriously deranged, and definitely prosecutable.
watch this video without a tear in your eye
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fnbn0Z3APE
Yesterday I watched a special on MLK on the History Channel. After seeing children civil rights protesters being bitten by attack dogs and blasted with powerful water hoses from sick cowardly bigots, I got pissed off as I do every time I watch that bullshit. To see the pure joy coming from the children on the video discussing Obama made me feel better.
Great day to inaugurate a new president.
here in South Carolina for the first time in eight years, still a great day though.
Is secretly follow Hillary around today with camera and mic. Now THAT would be a hoot!! Think she'd say, "Dammit that should be me!"???
the mess Obama is inheriting, she might be saying just the opposite.
good morning concerned canuck, as i set here with my morning cup of joe and watch cnn ,i see the millions gathering at the washington mall and wonder why if americans had really been interested in change and the constitution being taken from them why it took the inaguration of a black president for them to decend on washington in such great numbers ? had they wanted good government they should have assymbled there in such great numbers after the second stolen election shutting down the house and senate , and surrounding the white house in such numbers that americans could not possibly be ignored by the corporate whores and the corporate news pimps, these last four years may have been different quite possibly the war in iraq and afganistan might have ended , thousands of iraqy afgany and palistinians may have still been alive george bush and cheny quite possibly have been run out of town on a rail tared and feathered , the things that could have been !
I'm not sure how to answer you to be honest. I and millions others, cannot understand why the Bush Regime was allowed for so long. Some say it was the lack of votes, but if that was the real case, then why were these public servants re-elected by people that wanted something done? I mean honestly, if Joe LIEberman's voting public, really wanted something done about his actions, why do they keep electing him? Pelosi? Same thing.
History will wonder why we never jailed him.
Andy Card just said on CBS inaugural coverage that "Dick Cbeney never wanted to be president and that he only wanted to do what was right with policy"
Seriously. He said that.
partly right. He didn't want to be Prez, just have all the power. Worked out good for him.
