Joseph Stalin as a role model for George Bush

The testimony of a former Surgeon General that he was required to mention George Bush several times in each page of his speeches sounds familiar. When he was in power books and papers always carried statements like this work was inspired and guided by the heroic leadership of the great Joseph Stalin.

It degrades the office of President for George Bush to use Joseph Stalin as a role model. We might have thought that it would be impossible for Bush to degrade the office any further.  But we didn’t count on his ability in such matters.  At least it is reassuring that our President is competent enough to do something successfully.
