Karl Rove orchestrating the ‘Bush Legacy project.’
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/12/02/legacy-project/


President Bush’s interview with ABC’s Charlie Gibson this week was the “first of several planned ‘exit interviews.’” According to White House press secretary Dana Perino, Bush’s next interview will be with ABC’s Cynthia McFadden on the topic of the faith-based initiative. It will air on Nightline next week. If the first interview with Gibson provides any clue as to what we can expect from these interviews, Bush will paint a rosy picture of his legacy and “refuse to take responsibility for a single thing that went wrong on his watch.” Heather at Crooks and Liars catches the Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes revealing that Karl Rove is currently orchestrating the Bush legacy project:

here’s an ongoing Bush legacy project that’s been meeting in the White House, really, with senior advisers, Karl Rove, Karen Hughes has been involved, current senior Bush administration advisers and they are looking at how to sort of roll out the President’s legacy.

Update:
Sam Stein reports that, during a debate in New York on Bush's legacy, Rove said Bush would not have gone to war in Iraq had he known there were no weapons of mass destruction. Bill Kristol agreed.

1. The fact that they need to do this at all...

...says it all

[lpbk2713]

2. They should be called "The Revisionists"

There's no way anyone can rewrite history to such an extent as to make Shit-for-Brains look like anything but the inept lying criminal that he truly is. Even Rover and company aren't that skillful.

3. who didn't see this coming?

[BOSSHOG]

5. Early in the planning stages

Hey karl there are still millions of ignorant motherfuckers who STILL believe shit you make up right? They call themselves conservatives?? So what do ya say we just lie to the ignorant trash some more?

[Solly Mack]

6. Sadly...it will work on some

and some others who would rather believe only the best about their government will also accept the end game "new facts" because the reality is just too harsh for them to accept...to see your government as anything but good...requires some to rethink their whole idea of their government..of their country...if America just has to have a good reason for doing something...some people will turn bad into good and accept the lie...

11. It worked in the past - Ronnie's a saint and GHWBush is a devoted public servant. Their REAL RECORD

is upheld by a minority of us who will not let the truth be buried.

And we will not let off the hook those Dems who helped PROTECT Reagan and Bush's secrecy and privilege when they could have used their power to facilitate the open and accountable government the citizenry is owed.

There should NEVER have been the remotest possibility of a Bush2, a 9-11 event, or an invasion of Iraq. PERIOD!

[Solly Mack]

12. Exactly

and precisely why...protect the guilty, you prop up the lie...

[BOSSHOG]

4. If he had known there were no WMD???

Yeah, bush and if you had known Valerie Plame were an undercover CIA operative you would not have authorized treason to out her for political reasons.

Is it possible to detest "conservative values" more then I already do??

9. More LIES.

BUSH: I said I made the right decision. Knowing what I know today, I would have still made that decision.

HUME: So, if you had had this — if the weapons had been out of the equation because the intelligence did not conclude that he had them, it was still the right call?

BUSH: Absolutely.

7. Move over Saint Ronnie, make room for Saint George!

The Conservative world is built on deceit and denial!

[LynnTheDem]

8. LIAR.

I knew.

The majority of the world knew.

Even the majority of Americans knew.

Is George W. bUsh truly THAT STUPID that he didn't know???


Nope. He's just LYING again:

BUSH: I said I made the right decision. Knowing what I know today, I would have still made that decision.

HUME: So, if you had had this — if the weapons had been out of the equation because the intelligence did not conclude that he had them, it was still the right call?

BUSH: Absolutely

10. The thing is.

If anybody can and will do it, Rove is the man. Wow, that was painful to type.

[Mist]

13. Fortunately, truth, history, our current reality, and liberal and progressive bloggers all

combine to easily refute any spin put on this most catastrophic of administrations.
