    Hah, I wish a Plantagenet king were running for president.

    Just imagine how much the likes of Henry II, Richard I, or Edward I could accomplish! And people say Bush was an autocrat.

    But then there's um, John, Edward II, Richard II... mumble mumble...

      Richard I? He's right up Bush's alley. Went off on a foreign adventure thinking he was all that, ****ed it up, and cost his country a ****load of money and prestige.

      The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

        Yep. Hence the sarcasm of my last post. Even the "great" Plantagenets were bad, and after them you still have a whole slew of truly awful Plantagenets to dig through.

          I hear ya. I started out by thinking that Edward I and even Henry II were far superior kings to Richard I, and then got thinking more about Richard I and then thought of the Bush parallel.

          Of course, the lot of 'em were nasty, bloodthirsty buggers. They were, after all, medieval kings.
