Please tell me that Bush's historical legacy won't be sugar-coated!
Throughout his entire term, the MSM has always given him more credit than he has deserved. Even today, with ridiculous approval ratings and widespread condemnation over his handling of Katrina, the media still treats him like a a likable, popular President who has simply taken a few hits recently for a couple of missteps. And now, almost every major outlet is slowly starting to get back in line with the Rovian talking points.

I've had enough. If ANY other President had approval ratings in the 30s, there would never be a news story about him or her that didn't contain the words "embattled," "unpopular," etc. Please tell me that history will be more accurate in it's portrayal of this monster. It was bad enough the way they rewrote the history on Reagan, who was nothing compared to this idiot.

1. Honestly?
They're probably getting ready to carve him into Mt Rushmore as we speak. 20 years from now the Right will praise him as the greatest President ever.

2. The victor writes the history.
If the Cons prevail, he will probably be deified ala Reagan. If we prevail he will be regarded as, well he has no historical equal for his bumbling.

3. I predict bookstores will become hazardous to diabetics by the 20s
not because of the acceptance of the pro-Bush opinion but because of the mere preponderance of mass-produced crap purchased by Tyndale and other crummy vanity houses and sold through Scaife channels from the last trees of the Northwest not on public land (a ranger station near the Salem, Ore., suburbs)

5. I can't imagine 50 years from now
Bush won't be seen as anything other than the failure he is. But's that just me.
