It would seem that Emerson was (is?) eager to become great. ;P

Ain't it the truth. He wasn't exactly your average Joe, so to speak. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Waldo_Emerson[^]

In order for Emerson's statement to apply to Bush, it would need to be symmetrical, and it's not. To be misunderstood is not necessarily to be great.

In your attempt to insult Bush, you forgot to realize it was a joke.

Yes, but by the same token, it can be. Which means there exists the chance he is great and we just don't understand him. So, logically speaking, you cannot assume he's not.

In your attempt to take my insult seriously, you forgot to realize it was a joke, as well as an insult.

True, taken alone, the misunderstanding might indicate greatness, just like the misunderestimating indicated...well, actually, that -- as well as the metric buttload of hilarity that has happened since -- seem to indicate just the opposite. Let's try some measures of greatness:
- Great statesman? Not even with an earpiece and a puppetmaster.
- Great leader? Not by the polls. Any polls.
- Great dignity? "Yo, Blair."
- Great backrubs? Germany says, "nein!"
- Great wit? "I thought you were gonna ask me about the pig. Heh, heh."
- Great guy? Seems like he might be a decent guy to have a beer with. If he still drank. Which he doesn't. Right.
- Great President? Your friends say yes. Mine? Eh...not so much. We'll see what history says.
BTW, it isn't a partisan thing. I disagreed rather strongly with Reagan's politics, but still think he at least had elements of greatness. Or maybe Bush has just lowered the bar...

It'll say whatever we want it to say, because we'll off the fuckers that write anything we don't like. :rolleyes:

I find your attempt to claim that my response to your response regarding my insulting joke regarding your Emerson quote wasn't funny amusing.

No, I think you misunderestimated it instead.

Yeah, it helps to have a sense of humor.

I'm happy to inform that you thought wrong. Please do pull the cork out and take a good whiff. ;) Also, you apparently forgot it was a joke. There's is no over/under estimation with jokes. For further reading, may I suggest this[^].

What a waste of human suffering it would be if bush resigned now. There is still much more harm he is called to do before 2008.

For further reading, may I suggest you google "bush" and "misunderestimate". You probably won't find the resulting pages funny; but, trust me, pretty much everyone else does.

Good call. That web site is hilarious. I laughed until I stopped.
