Is former President George W. Bush.
Say what you will about his presidency, but this guy is a straight up DUDE. Let's take a look at his professional resume. State rep, governor, president, sports franchise owner, went to schools 1 AND 2 in the country and was in both a frat and a secret society. On top of this he has multiple DUI's was a major cokehead and the extent of his military service was testing out planes for the Air National Guard...which I would equate to the practice of going to nice car dealerships and test drive ferraris.
That said, Bush was HATED a year ago today. Now? He's kind of the man. He kicks it on his gigantic ranch in Texas all day drinking bourbon and dipping. He knows that his two daughters are raging socialite whores..."whatever, I'm worth billions" is what he thinks to himself. Most presidents retire and then die or support some miserable charity or do paid speaking engagements.
Not W. Bush went to throw a ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game...the 63 year old threw a 79 mph strike. Not a sissy 2 bouncer like other presidential hopefuls. Kerry basically lost the election on a pitcher's mound. Even the celebrity BRObama has a weak arm.
What will be George W Bush's legacy to the world? The war on terror? The collapse of the economy? Unpopular wars in the middle east based on fabricated reports of WMD's. Be that as it may. This is what I think...Bush went halfway across the world and killed a lot of bad guys. According to the Opinion Research Bureau (ORB) There have been about 1,000,000 violent deaths caused by the Iraqi war. Of those million about 4,000 were Americans or roughly .4%
Last year there was a college basketball coach fired for beating a team that bad. Albeit that is 4,000 American soldiers too many, you do have to admit it IS quite the ass-kicking. George Bush also got Saddam Hussein hung for the world to see and he was the most unintentionally funny public speaker of all time.
This is why from here on out in my life, I will ask...What would W do?
