Bush Rehabilitation Begins?


Daily Beast: "The publication of Bush's memoir Decision Points, which hits stores November 9, is the key moment in what you might call the Bush Rehabilitation Project. Bush himself has long disdained grand, Nixonian plans to rescue his reputation. But his friends and former staff have spent the last two years using columns and cable microphones to do just that. And the release of the memoir -- coming so close on the heels of Barack Obama's repudiation -- has led some Bushies to conclude that America is finally giving the Bush era a second look."

1. it doesn't get prettier the second time.
Polls I have seen recently, indicate that those voting for repukes this time, do not even necessarily think the policies will help.

2. To quote Will Pitt,
Oh, fa Chrissake!

Maybe we should start trying to rehab Hitler's reputation next.

(Sorry--didn't mean to invoke Godwin's Law so early in this thread :evilgrin: )

7. If your premise were correct, why wasn't the book rolled out before the Election?
Edited on Tue Nov-02-10 10:36 AM by no_hypocrisy
Bush's "contribution" to this country and to his Party would have been of benefit to electing republicans?

I don't think the book will do much more than bring back dark memories.
