Bush has demonstrated that he's vindictive, cold, and heartless. He has no compassion, He has no empathy. He's all conviction. And conviction, combined with great power, in the hands of an intellectually, incurious midget like Bush, is a very, very dangerous thing.
His conviction is different from Reagan's. Ronald Reagan's convictions were born OUT OF compassion for others. They were not born out of bitterness, insecurity, fear, or a vindictive streak.
Anyone who does not fear George W. Bush, for all the right reasons, is an utter and complete fool.
-- Hesiod, Counterspin Central, Jan. 25, 2002

This is the worst president ever. He is the worst president in all of American history.
