    A “tool” is a useful object with a purpose. Calling Bush “a tool” implies that he’s useful, or has a purpose.

    I don’t think so.

    On the other hand, a “fucking tool” has a completely different connotation. I might agree with that application.

    A “fucking tool,” Concordian, is designed to give somebody pleasure in the bedroom…not tell them that they’re sinners and they’re going to hell.

    This shouldn’t be surprising, anyhow. This is the same man who joked that he “couldn’t find WMDs anywhere” while pretending to look under his podium at a fundraising function.

    Bush has always had a good, basic sense of hunor. He’s the kind of guy you would laugh with around the water cooler. The fact that he’s president and the Haunted Tree is now a forgotten entity speaks reams about the the mainstrean reagrds him.
