The Keeper, Seattle Occupation of Iraq Protest October 2007


From George Bush "The Dunce," an interview with Yoshi Tsurumi, one of the President's Harvard MBA professors:
His former Harvard Business School professor recalls George W. Bush not just as a terrible student but as spoiled, loutish and a pathological liar.

By Mary Jacoby

"He showed pathological lying habits and was in denial when challenged on his prejudices and biases. He would even deny saying something he just said 30 seconds ago. He was famous for that. Students jumped on him; I challenged him." When asked to explain a particular comment, said Tsurumi, Bush would respond, "Oh, I never said that."
...
Tsurumi told Bush that someone who avoided a draft while supporting a war in which others were dying was a hypocrite. "He realized he was caught, showed his famous smirk and huffed off."

Tsurumi's conclusion: Bush is not as dumb as his detractors allege. "He was just badly brought up, with no discipline, and no compassion," he said.
...
The Dunce? I see evidence of serious malfeasance and nefarious intentions. I think "dunce" is too mild an adjective. The "evil doer" is more like it!

You have stated before that

You have stated before that you didn't believe Bush was evil...and now?

Evil Bush

I don't know President Bush well enough to honestly assess whether or not he is evil. I think that would require a personal relationship.

Did you read the article (linked above) by Mary Jacoby?

Evil? Maybe. Unethical? If what professor Yoshi Tsurumi has to say is true - definitely.

Evil

But then again, maybe a personal relationship isn't necessary to assess the potential evilness of the President's character...

Do you think the President is evil, Vince? If so, why?

Do you think he is a good man? If so, why?
