Note that Hurricane Katrina or The Occupation of Iraq, since those are judgment calls, (although most reasonable people judge them as incompetence) are not listed.
Maybe you can explain away a couple of these things. But this list is OVERWHELMING.
As far as "more corrupt than Clinton?" Is that really the standard you're shooting for? Why is "he's not worse than Clinton was" the standard response from you guys? I'm not a Clinton fan. You guys SHOULD be aiming higher. I know, I know. You CAN'T.

That's an impressive list, Duggle. But it really doesn't compare at all to the list from Clinton. Plus, half the stuff you have on your list I don't even know if I agree with per se. And I'm not just not a fan of GWB -- I hate the guy. But Clinton was involved in a whole assload of sickfuck shit. I think the best part of all is that in his last week in office, he accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars from private citizens in exchange for letting convicted felons and violent criminals and hired killers out of jail and pardoning them completely. What a sick fuck little bitch.
Isn't that exactly what I said? Is Clinton's really your mark to beat if your point is that your administration isn't corrupt?
Besides....show me your list. GWB hasn't had his last week in office yet, I bet I can guess at least one convicted felon that will be getting a pardon, if he doesn't get one sooner...
Oh, George will give a few pardons, starting with Scooter. But I doubt he will pardon guys who work with terrorists.

I'm thinking right now that I find it disappointing I've never had the opportunity to shake your hand. Perhaps at a WPBT gathering in the future...
Anyway, VNFH sir.
In addition to your pretty damned comprehensive short list, I would add:
Cheney's Energy Task Force
Walter Reed
Troops saddled with never-ending stop-loss, and forced into multiple combat with practically no rest.
Downing Street Memos
And that's just a couple minutes of thought. Conservatives. These people are conservative like Anna Nicole was chaste.
