It’s like the difference between AIDS and SuperAIDS.

Things got kind of heated the other night at a post-screening discussion of the “Frost/Nixon” movie. Chris Wallace of Fox News reportedly challenged a statement by one of the researchers for the actual Frost/Nixon interview which compared Bush negatively to Richard Nixon.

Richard Nixon back in the spotlight

Wallace argued that Nixon’s crimes were in the interest of personal gain, while Bush’s were in the interest of national security.

So this is where the shaping of Bush’s legacy stands? His supporters are just trying to help him jump the “Worse Than Nixon” hurdle?

We’re betting the question of who was the worse president will be debated for years to come, but we’d like to weigh in with our pick right now.

It’s Bush. Bush is a worse president than Richard Nixon.

Chris Wallace made his argument, but we’ve got 10 arguments of our own…

1. Nixon tried to steal an election. Bush succeeded.
2. Nixon never responded to a domestic attack by invading the wrong country.
3. Nixon managed to end his war. Bush is just gonna let someone else figure his out.
4. No major cities were allowed to drown under Nixon’s administration.
5. Nixon had the decency to resign. Bush didn’t.
6. Nixon’s VP also had the decency to resign. Bush’s VP is the worst human being who ever lived.
7. No one ever called Nixon’s economy “the worst since the Great Depression.”
8. Nixon built our relationship with China. Bush destroyed our relationship with everybody.
9. Nixon only wire-tapped the Democratic National Committee. Bush wiretapped everybody.
10. Nixon was intelligent enough to be called “Tricky Dick.” Bush is stupid enough to be called “a fucking imbecile.”

That pretty much clinches it. If we’ve left out any supporting arguments, or if anyone anywhere can think of one reason why the Bush administration wasn’t entirely awful, let us know in the comments section. But our mind is made up, so we’re going to go ahead and give Bush the plaque.

Of course according to the Google alerts, Karl Rove is running all over the country trying to convince people that Bush has a legacy to defend. What legacy? Can anyone suggest one thing he did as president that was good for the country? Just one? Anybody?
