Hyperventilating like this is why the Detroit Free Press is another drain-circling train wreck of a newspaper.

Yes yes... but what about Kari Byrons' hotness?

What part of that was hyperventilating exactly? The part about Bush critics being "too simple and they're too lacking in nuance"?

Bush bashing will always be in style. It's become the Little Black Dress of politics.

Actually, that seemed to be a pretty balanced article, it even gave the last word to a contrarian Bush supporter.

I know that contradicting the Rightwing Hero Worship message that "Bush is God" is tantamount to treason for Republicans, but the rest of us live on Planet Earth.

Can we have a "massive exaggeration" tag please?

well, FDR managed to handle both.

If that was so, then why is Bush not very popular even among Republicans?

I hate faux consensus articles. "Most everyone says that..."

Odd. A clear majority prefer that sort of broadly based authority when hearing what their opinion should be.

Bush is Judas.

William F. Buckley is God.

He's still president for 16 more days.

Headline writers don't write articles. If anything, the article was generous about Bush's legacy.

An economic policy based on blind faith in the laugher curve and a foreign policy based on pants crapping panic.
What's not to like?
Why wait , put him on Rushmore now.

When Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese aircraft, we countered by attacking JAPAN.

When WTC was attacked by Saudi terrorists, we countered by attacking... Afghanistan? And then Iraq?!

I agree with you, but this is a poor example.

Actually, Germany and Italy declared war on the US after he bombing of Pearl Harbor. The US was invited to the party, they didn't gatecrash.
