1/ I want to raise awareness about the amazing & cathartic "George W. Bush suffers a comedically horrible accident" series from the Onion.

They started after Obama won and lasted until Obama sworn in: theonion.com/tag/george-w-b…

I'll include links, headline & some text

1b/ I do understand that these are a cruel type of slapstick humor. But Bush has been trying to scrub his image clean, esp. in comparison to the cruel, depraved psychopath currently in White House.

Young people need to know that Bush was horrible.

1c/ Bush (a) launched us into a religious war on false pretenses, (b) authorized torture & other war crimes, (c) let New Orleans drown, (d) caused the Great Recession. All of this was through incompetence, religious intolerance, & greed

1d/ But I'm also looking forward to what they'll do to Trump (ym'sh) who's not even a true President, rather a career criminal who's an asset of his foreign adversary/crime boss, Putin.

Trump is an anti-President.

So Bush is still the worst president.

1e/ Intro aside, without further ado, and after this prolonged intro designed to buffer the initial first tweet to the litany of exaggerated mayhem, pain and destruction, here's the collected Onion Hurting George W. Bush In Horrible, Yet Funny, Ways:
