Olbermann: Bush Returns To Make "World's Worst Person" (VIDEO)

The 'Worst Persons in the World' tonight on "Countdown" included Republican Senator Judd Gregg, Newt Gingrich, and former President George W. Bush.

Gregg took the bronze for introducing a bill in Congress that would ban signs identifying projects as funded by the stimulus, criticizing them as "simply for political self-interest." Gregg neglected to mention, however, the $500,000 earmark which led to the Judd Gregg Meteorology Institute or two other places, a library at Plymouth University and a "hall" at New Hampshire University, named for him after he pushed money the institutions' way.

Gingrich took home the silver for launching ads against a clean energy legislation funded by his 527 group when that 527 group has received $250,000 from a giant coal company that would be forced to clean up its pollution if that legislation is passed.

Bush returned to the scene to claim the gold for the emergence of yet another memo, resulting from a British government investigation into the Iraq war, that showed Bush determined to invade that country whether there was reason to or not.

But ... shouldn't that be - "Worse, Worser, WORSTEST"? Let's have some consistency here.

[kcmookie]

Actually he is the worserest.

[Hailey73]

Some people in Iran would beg to differ who is the worst.

[Cyclops0823]

Everytime i read the posts on Bush, i just want to smack the goober that wrote it and tell them to

TURN THE PAGE ALREADY!!!!
MOVE ON...

[scottowego]

All I can say Cyclops823 is that I really have a difficult time turning a blind eye to the man who brought this great country, the U.S.A. to it's knees. Oh, ya along with the economy of the entire planet. I think have a president in charge who actually is presidential and who takes action on major issues in this country today just really highlights how bad an administration the Bush/Cheney creeps were.

[kcmookie]

I could not have said it better. I cannot wait for the day when I no longer think of Bush and the carnage he has wrought on our society and the tarnish he has given to the Presidency of the United States of America. Some day I will be able to hold my head high again, but currently it is still to painful and fresh, and that applies to the millions that voted him into office (twice) as well. I struggle to contain my reaction when I see a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker, and some day if you find a window broken on your car, feel free to blame me.

[gconners]

It's kind of hard to turn the page when the crap he left is still all over the place!

[Bitsko]

President George Walker Bush, this generation's biggest A-Hole in the world.

[alfrede]

Perhaps this is why President Bush never met publicly with the wounded veterans or allowed cameras at Dover Air Base for the dead veterans arrival.

Congress should do something!!!

At least tighten the rules on sending our sons and daughters to war.

[Passenger57]

Along with that, we should ask why his administration didn't want the 9/11 attacks investigat­ed...

[tomasedison]

Go away Georgie Boy go clear brush somewhere isolated.

[donniebnyc]

To those of us who knew in 2000 that Bush would be a disaster for this country, there can never be enough reminders of his infamy. Perhaps with enough reminders the dolts who voted for him, some even twice, will never drag the rest of us down that dark road again.

[justoverit333]

Yeah I have a friend who married in 1999 and switched
to the GOP because of her new husband. She voted for
the frat boy twice. I was in shock. Wonder what she thinks
now?

[kathy001]

If she switched parties just because her husband was a Republican then I doubt that she does - think, that is.

[marymansour]

W should have a permanent position in Olbermann's hall of worst persons. 8 long years of trash-trash-trash our country is worthy of that rank.

[whocan]

more comments here than those who watched

[StillAmused]

... or, in your case, comprehend the issue, but you've found your calling as official scorekeeper.

Don't work your abacus too fast. Your fingers will blister.

[CyrusBeaucephus]

I think we all can agree that ratings mean everything. ps how does Bushboy rate these days, wingnut?

[Daniel Torluemke]

Bad news for Republican's. Obama's approval has spiked back UPWARDS.

[haval2]

What a bunch of cretins.

[solid]

The Republicans? Yes I agree.

[KDog76A]

Kim Jong Il is definitely not as bad as Bush... give me a break. Yeah he sucked, but he didnt have his opposition murdered in the streets.

Go Obama

[spandautoseattle]

Call center working for the former GOP or Christian "universit­y"-compute­r-workshop­?
Makes me chuckle, every non-issue related comment to this topic keeps GWB's deeds in the discussion. That way his dark reign will never be forgotten. Please continue.

[harmonikasavingsbonds]

Try World's Worst Person of the Century.

[DestinationsUnknown]

Toss up-
cheney or bush

[TheHandyman]

You mean they are two different people? I thought they were one guy in different suits, imagine that. I guess it is true what they say about never being too old to learn.

Gingrich is not even in office, i am impressed

[WhatTheHolyHeck]

Perhaps you could explain that to all the TV hosts who keep having him on their shows, and who treat his sold-out rhetoric as genuine political dialogue.

[BringmeReason]

Neither is Bush, what's you point? Because they aren't curently holding a political position (for good reasons I might add) means we such forget their atrocities?
