What do these two men share in common?

Comparing Bush to Hitler is an insult to Hitler. :D At least Hitler had his own people's interests at heart.

Actually, the four words say nothing. These crude attempts at comparison are hilarious, only because of the obvious ignorance of its contrivers. Briefly, then, in addition to Drakmal's comment, Hitler was an infinitely better orator, possessed superior intellect, and had no family to ease his way to power. :hit:

I consider it increasingly boring that everyone and everything is compared to that Austrian private. It seems that no other man arouses so much controversy. I guess this is the result of constantly stimulating pavlovian instincts. Comparing Bush to Ariel Sharon would be more appropriate, but obviously most people must keep it simple.

I have no idea who Dumbya should be compared to

One possibility: August, the extravagant and silly king of Saxony, whose court Jew, Behrend Lehmann, helped finance the king’s extravagant lifestyle and military campaigns. Lehmann also succeeded in procuring for August--by raising the astronomical sum of 10 million thaler--the Crown of Poland, which was then awarded by the Polish nobility to the highest bidder.

In 1697, August was crowned king of Poland. He did not forget Lehmann, whom he now elevated to "Polish Resident"—equal to an ambassadorial title. The king offered to fulfill Lehmann's three wishes. These were: 1) the rebuilding the synagogue in Halberstadt, Lehmann's native town; 2) the reprinting of the Babylonian Talmud of which practically no more copies could be found; and 3) the establishing of Klaus—in modern terms, a kollel.

A kollel is a generic term describing a center of Torah learning where a group of married men pursue full-time post graduate work in Talmudic law. There are kollels in most major cities in America and around the world. There are literally hundreds of kollels in Israel.
