From the last article I linked:
Lieberman’s comments echo those by Rush Limbaugh, who in May said, “Long after we’re all dead and gone, when historians who are not yet born begin to write about this era, they’re going to place George Bush in the upper echelon of presidents who had a great vision for America, who looked beyond our shores, who didn’t just restrict himself to domestic policy niceties.”
It’s interesting that now, with the war more unpopular than ever and violence skyrocketing, Lieberman decides Bush is a great president. In contrast, in May 2003, when Lieberman was competing for the Democratic nomination for president, he said the Bush administration “seems to have been unprepared for the quick victory it predicted.” Similarly, in Sept. 2003, Lieberman stated:
I am shocked at how unprepared the Bush administration was for what to do afterward. They’ve left a vacuum which the terrorists, the Saddam loyalists, our enemies, have jumped into.
Rush and Lieberman may not be aware, but historians are already debating Bush’s legacy. In fact, Rolling Stone recently wrote, “Many historians are now wondering whether Bush, in fact, will be remembered as the very worst president in all of American history.”
Go Rolling Stone, from linked article:
George W. Bush’s presidency appears headed for colossal historical disgrace. Barring a cataclysmic event on the order of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, after which the public might rally around the White House once again, there seems to be little the administration can do to avoid being ranked on the lowest tier of U.S. presidents. And that may be the best-case scenario. Many historians are now wondering whether Bush, in fact, will be remembered as the very worst president in all of American history.
So that is how George Bush will be remembered, I guess even despite his best efforts. Interestingly this will be a good test of the ministry of truth effect as I deeply suspect that bush will indeed attempt to cover up this as:
- he has gotten people to say he isn’t a moron
- he has gotten google to remove the google bomb
- he had the whitehouse website rerouted to break all web links to his bio
- he has Lieberhan and Limbaugh start to say he will be remembered greatly, in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Unless historians get real stupid real fast, the amount of damning evidence that will be linked to opinion on Bush will be conclusive.
So, don’t forget, let history forever remember what a fucking asshole George Bush was.
