Did the Republican Party Replace George W. Bush with Ted Bundy?

Photos Reveal a Striking Similarity Between America's Most Famous Serial Killer and Its Most Famous Mass Murderer

Did Ted Bundy really get executed in Old Sparky, the electric chair at Florida's state prison in the late 1980s? Or was there a sinister plot to replace the alcoholic loser son of the man who had just been inaugurated President a few days earlier with the death row inmate who had spent
 his last few months doing everything possible to come up with a deal for survival? In January of 1989 the idea that Pres. George H.W. Bush's eldest son could ever become President himself probably seemed like a distasteful joke. George W. Bush had established his character and legacy by then: a drunk without any intellectual capacity who failed at every business he'd ever tried.

Take a look at the picture there to the left. That's not the same guy in both. One is Ted Bundy, the most famous serial killer in American history. And the other is George W. Bush, the most famous mass murderer in American history. Ted Bundy was an up and comer in the Republican Party in the Pacific Northwest in the early 70s. Unlike George W. Bush, he was considered incredibly smart. Unlike George W. Bush he wasn't born with a silver foot in his mouth. However, it has been said that George W. Bush can be charming in person. I doubt this seriously considering that there is a pretty thick line between charming and smarmy and I've never seen Bush be anything but smarmy whether as President or as a drunken wedding guest in that infamous video on YouTube. In a word, Bush is icky. But enough people who don't like the man have admitted he can be charming in person, so I'll take their word for it. Ted Bundy was also said to be incredibly charming. I watched his trial on TV when I was a teenager-I believe it was the first trial in Florida ever to be televised-and he charmed me to the point where for years I tried to convince people that even though he probably was guilty, the prosecutors hadn't come anywhere near to actually proving it.

The truth is, Ted Bundy was a decent student. He had the potential to go places, and I could easily see him fitting like a sadly missed ring finger in the glove of a Bush Administration.

Tim! You dastardly neo-con! Slouching around with us liberals, trying to blend in! All the while, sleeping with an El Rushbo blow up doll! That is an interesting comment you got, Tim...I have heard you called many things, but never the big (R)!

I loved this article, very well written, and hilarious.

This was meant as a lighthearted comment Timothy forgot the smiley. But I wrote it in a rush, so thought I better double check. But the element of truth is I read something political way back when - it was something that struck a nerve and (memory as it is) and I thought it was of pro Bush nature. Anyway that was long ago, and with a finite number of CPs I can read, I'm glad to have rediscovered your work and that I was mistaken. :-)

I'm totally interested in just what made you think that. That is one comment I have never, ever received before. Fascinating.

I thought you were a staunch Republican, maybe I'll start reading your stuff again. Very creative.

They do have a similar appearance. But I think you have just spawned a new collection of conspiracy theories.
