I watched the thing. Not bad. The press, while asking some tough questions, didn't go for the throat.
Loved the Bush Derangement Syndrom question!
Let's hear from the DUmp:

Bush Haters?: Thoughts on the Last Press Conference
Advertisements [?]
First, who are these mythical people who supposedly hate President George Bush just because he is George Bush. Throughtout the presidency certain reporters have claimed that George Bush is hated simply because he George Bush. On at least one other occasion I have stated that it seems that if there are any people on the left who hate George Bush just because of who he is they are very few. No doubt there has been anger from the left pointed in Bush's direction. However, that anger was not based on the fact that George Bush is George Bush, due to his policies. Anytime Bush was criticized by the left it was based on a policy disagreement and not any dislike of Bush himself.
I remember the first years of the Bush Administration when Democrats seemed to try hard not to make their argument against Bush about Bush himself. When Bush first came into office Democrats tried hard to make argument about policy. However, it seems that anytime anyone tried to criticize a Bush policy some Republians claimed Bush himself was being criticized. However, as far as I remember Democrats tried hard not to go after Bush on a personal level.
On another note Bush finally admitted making a few mistakes. In terms of the "Mission Accomplished" banner it only took about seven years and a few other things to make him realize he had in fact made a mistake.
How long will it be before they re-write the history books? They've already started. Oh, and btw, the banner was for the ship and it's crew. Their mission was completed. DUmbass.

1. I detest the person, George W. Bush. I hate his polices and his beloved
ideology.
Most of the people on DU hate GWB for himself, in my opinion.

Just saw his last (lecture) press conference. Hanging is too good for him.

He should be kept in a room sized Plexiglas box for all to visit. He would have a live mike available so that his final presser could last forever. People could throw shoes at the box. A dollar per shoe. We could erase the debt and feed the world at the same time. I would pilgrimage to Washington D.C. every year to pay him a visit.
Yeah, there's sanity.

Let's play a little game. Junior likes to compare himself to Lincoln. Let us help him. I'll go first:
"W is to Lincoln as chimpanzee is to Einstein"
Yeah, where is the hate?

Why Bush Loves Violence
by Justy Frank
...................
Psychiatrist Justin Frank, author of Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President, says the trail of destruction wrought by Bush over the last eight years is the direct consequence of handing a man with a destructive personality profile tremendous power.
.....................
What do bad boys do when they grow up? They change. But Bush never stopped.
Bush is leaving office immensely satisfied with his presidential accomplishments: Not merely wreaking havoc worldwide – actively destroying Iraq, and passively turning his back on New Orleans – he became feared both abroad and at home, where Congress and the press have yet to muster the courage to confront him. Now, the financial devastation of his policies seems to be hurtling the globe ever faster towards an economic Judgment Day.
The secret sadist in Bush greets all this as wonderful news, made even better by the possibility that he won’t get caught or punished, and that others will at least have to clean up his mess if they can. He may look and sound uncharacteristically sheepish of late, but his sense of self as president remains unchanged at its core. His primary concern remains self-regard, not history’s.
.................
After 9/11, Bush discovered that Americans had handed over to him much of their sense of personal responsibility for thought and action. We were seduced into developing a thirst for revenge, in a war on terror that he originally called a crusade (until his aides told him to change terminology). Bush’s conscious fantasy about that crusade remains unwavering; what is unconscious is the fantasy that allows him to be willfully cruel, to dehumanize foreigners and the poor, whether they be soldiers or women and children. And he got us to go along with him.
