unfortunately for them, denying reality does not change the truth

Mrs. Bush, Rice: Bush presidency not a failure

WASHINGTON – The two most influential women in President George W. Bush's White House — first lady Laura Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice — are strongly defending the president's legacy against critics who are calling his administration one of the worst in history.

"I know it's not, and so I don't really feel like I need to respond to people that view it that way," Mrs. Bush said in an interview that aired Sunday. "I think history will judge and we'll see later."

Rice took a similar view in a separate interview, saying that claims that the Bush administration has been one of the worst ever are "ridiculous."

"I think generations pretty soon are going to start to thank this president for what he's done. This generation will," Rice said.

I know they keep saying that "history" will validate this presidency, but isn't it funny that we always knew that Clinton's presidency was a success and we didn't need "history" to tell us this.

Who knows, maybe in the far distant future some ramification of bush's fuck-ups will have some positive impact somewhere, but it's not likely and it obviously is not worth the hell that he has put this world through.
