An excerpt from USA TODAY founder Al Neuharth’s OpEd to amend a previously written opinion:
Mea culpa to Bush on Presidents Day –
“A year ago I criticized Hillary Clinton for saying ‘this (Bush) administration will go down in history as one of the worst.’
‘She’s wrong,’ I wrote. Then I rated these five presidents, in this order, as the worst: Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan, Ulysses Grant, Hoover and Richard Nixon. ‘It’s very unlikely Bush can crack that list,’ I added.
I was wrong. This is my mea culpa. Not only has Bush cracked that list, but he is planted firmly at the top.“
Got it?
WORST PRESIDENT EVER!

Republican Al Qa’eda Terrorist Below. (No Joke!)
Ok… So the terrorism part first:
Terrorism charges brought Friday against the administrator of a loan investment program claimed that he secretly tried to send $152,000 to the Middle East to buy equipment such as night vision goggles for a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan.
Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari, 53, of Ardsley, N.Y., pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Manhattan to an indictment accusing him of terrorism financing, material support of terrorism and other charges. The charges carried a potential penalty of 95 years in prison.
But would you really believe me if I told you he was a Republican?
CBS News has confirmed that Alishtari is a donor to the Republican Party, as he claims on his curriculum vitae. Alishtari gave $15,500 to the National Republican Campaign Committee between 2002 and 2004, according to Federal Election Commission records. That amount includes $13,000 in 2003, a year when he claims to have been named NRCC New York State Businessman of the Year.
Alishtari also claims to be a lifetime member of the National Republican Senate Committee’s Inner Circle, which the NRCC describes as “an impressive cross-section of American society – community leaders, business executives, entrepreneurs, retirees, and sports and entertainment celebrities – all of whom hold a deep interest in our nation’s prosperity and security.”
The Republican party needs to be placed on “The List” of terrorist related organizations and watched very carefully.
It is pretty apparent that the FBI and Homeland Security are wasting their time watching us liberal/peacenik/Quaker/progressive/etc. types. Just ask Ken Krayeske…
Time for a beer!
Wow, that’s pretty striking. Neurath is a not very extreme classic conservative, as I recall.
It might be a bit hard to escalate wars and start new ones when you are being called the worst president in history by establishment figures. Such changes in opinion are part of the dynamic leading to impeachment hearings.
Now, if only USA Today or some other news organizations had some polls done on how much of the public wants Bush impeached!
Many months ago in this wonderful forum I wrote that the Buchanan family was secretly saying prayers of thanksgiving for George Dubya because now their ancestor would no longer be the worst fucking President in the history of the United States. Bush has blown by Buchanan and left him in the dust, not a mean feat considering that Buchanan was instrumental in bringing about our own civil war.
