In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. - Friedrich Nietzsche
Known for his extreme extravagance, eccentricity, depravity and cruelty, he is remembered as a despot.....a crazed megalomaniac given to capricious cruelty and harebrained schemes.

I wouldn't call W a megalomaniac though. Nobody who wears a constant expression of anguished bewilderment could be considered megalomaniac.

Well gee, there are so many to choose from we can't possibly be restrained to two choices can we?
What about Dick Cheney?
What about Bill O'Reilly?
What about me? It's about me, isn't it?
Sorry, I got carried away. C, both of the above.

Good one tj: constant expression of anguished bewilderment. Funny. I don't know who it is, but I do know our Preznutz is that and more.

Flimsy, LOL! Okay, you've crossed a line here. We classicists have certain standards...and bad as he was, "Little Boots" Caligula deserves better than being compared with Bush! Though he was crazed as a rabid chipmunk and vicious as a cornered wolverine, Caligula at least had imagination. I never heard anyone accuse Bush of THAT!
Caligula attempted to make his horse a consul of Rome. Oops! I forgot Bush and Harriet Miers.
Maybe there is a similarity after all!

Did you see the special on the History channel about all the Roman Emperors. Just Amazing. And somehow... familiar.
