To try and stay on topic as much as possible - I think very lowly of Bush. I have made it pretty clear that I think Bush is the scum of the earth. But then I have to snap out of it and remember that things could be worse.

For example, Bush could be Putin.

As horrid a fake president as Bush may be, he isn't even close to Putin. They aren't even in the same league; its like comparing a little leaguer to Barry Bonds. Bush may pull a lot of shit, and do things I consider undemocratic, but Bush at his worst is 10,000 times more democratic than Putin, or Castro, or a dozens of other world leaders. So no, it is not hypocritical of Bush to lecture Putin on democracy.
