Dubya, the movie.
His history is failure, his future is failure. The sad thing is that millions are kneeling before the golden calf.

It is difficult to understand the US nowadays. And if it weren't for those millions of Americans (actually more than half the population) who are fighting for a decent America true to its heritage of freedom and democracy, I would have given up on America long ago. But their fight is my fight, so I keep on blogging.
Guardian: "Ukraine, traditionally passive in its politics, has been mobilised by the young democracy activists and will never be the same again.
But while the gains of the orange-bedecked 'chestnut revolution' are Ukraine's, the campaign is an American creation, a sophisticated and brilliantly conceived exercise in western branding and mass marketing that, in four countries in four years, has been used to try to salvage rigged elections and topple unsavoury regimes.
Funded and organised by the US government, deploying US consultancies, pollsters, diplomats, the two big American parties and US non-government organisations, the campaign was first used in Europe in Belgrade in 2000 to beat Slobodan Milosevic at the ballot box."
The US spent about $14m to topple the Ukrainian government. If a government like that of the US with only contempt for democracy is supporting 'democracy' elsewhere, it only means they want to impose their neo-con agenda of privatization and totalitarianism on the Ukraine, and it is meant to undermine Russia first and foremost.
AsiaTimes: "Najaf was bombed in August. Samarra was bombed in September. Sadr City was bombed in October. Fallujah was bombed in November. Mosul may be bombed in December. And Kirkuk may be bombed in January.
This is the calendar in the runup to the Iraqi elections set for January 30 next year. Then there will be another set of questions. Will the Iraqi elections be stolen? Will votes 'disappear'? Instead of Florida or Ohio, will there be demands for recounts in Fallujah and Samarra? Like Ukrainians in Kiev, will Sunnis in Baghdad take to the streets contesting the results of their elections? Will interim premier Iyad Allawi - with a little help from his Washington friends - prevail?"
Some American religious fanatics are worse than the Islamic fundamentalists.
American taxpayers are paying for war crimes committed by their troops.
Washington Post: "The Republican-controlled Congress has stepped up its campaign to curtail the power of the International Criminal Court, threatening to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in economic aid to governments that refuse to sign immunity accords shielding U.S. personnel from being surrendered to the tribunal."
That is outright blackmail.
Scoop: "I can no longer continue to try and justify the perplexing and bizarre actions of 'the American public'. I will still feel sympathy for those many Americans, over fifty million, who did not vote for Bush in 2004.
They tried valiantly to save their country and the world from four more years of tyranny. I am grateful for their efforts. But in the end, a force far greater had the final say. But I will remind any American who voted for Bush that the blood of every person killed in Iraq - American and Iraqi - is on their hands.
I will remind those Bush supporters that their own loss of freedom and democracy was their choice. I will remind them that they have endorsed a US foreign policy of belligerence and contempt for international law. I will remind them that they are partially responsible for the precarious state of the world, a world that is overwhelmingly bereft and horrified by another four years of a Bush-led America. I have finished making excuses for Americans."
Personally, I would like to add that my support goes to those great Americans who are still fighting every day to conserve the true values of America, freedom and justice, against the forces of evil that propagate killing and destruction on an unprecedented scale. I am an American.
