It should be obvious to anyone currently sucking down oxygen just what President Bush's legacy will be -- we're basically living it and likely will be for quite some time.
But that's not stopping some of the president's closest acolytes -- including Karl Rove and Karen Hughes -- from trying to rewrite history, or at the very least spin it deftly enough so that Bush doesn't in fact wind up looking like what he is: the worst president this country has ever seen.
A couple of days ago, Stephen Hayes of The Weekly Standard talked about what's being dubbed "The Bush Legacy Project" during a live television interview. He says that those involved are "looking at how to sort of roll out the president's legacy."
If you're shaking your head right now at the thought of a room full of Bushites trying to figure out a way to engineer a final act of shameless bullshit -- that last proverbial fast one pulled, this time, not on the American people but on history itself -- you're certainly not alone. Nor are you if you're wondering aloud just how exactly a legacy can be "rolled out."
Bob Cesca, as usual, puts it best:
"The only thing this administration was actually good at was fabricating their own version of reality. They failed at everything else and then made up stuff to obfuscate those failures. So I'll make Rove's gig really easy here by offering a suggestion: the 'legacy project' is their legacy. In other words, it's very likely that they'll be remembered for their aptitude for things like the 'legacy project.'"
Not to be outdone, the good folks at 23/6 would also like to give Rove and the rest of the soon-to-be-consigned-to-a-Trivial-Pursuit-question Bush team (as well as its few remaining supporters) a helping hand in defending the president's "Legacy of Suck."
Here's a Friday morning laugh:
