Was it just the Semen-Stained Dress, or did he also start a War against Gog and Magog, but kept it secret? This question poisons the well, and assumes facts not in evidence. (I realize, of course, that this is the SDMB, where Bush’s evil is an accepted postulate, but that’s the point: you don’t get to simply announce the truth of your conclusion by assuming its truth at the beginning of the argument.) I don’t agree that Bush was evil. And I don’t believe Clinton was evil either. Therefore, I believe it’s not fair to say either exceeds the other in evil. There are areas in which Bush was less than competent, and areas in which Clinton was less than competent. But from a purely objective measure, I should point out that only two Presidents in the history of the United States have been impeached: Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. Not George Bush. So that’s my notional measurement: Bush was never impeached; Clinton was. 15-Love, Bush. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-the-id-demanding-gop-vote-suppressors-part-1/624943)._
