My eyes nearly glazed over as I read this piece of flotsam & jetsam from Knight Ridder Newspapers (owner of the Philly Inquirer, the Miami Herald, and the Seattle Times, and former owner of the Detroit Free Press).

<< Bush legacy rests on Iraqi constitution >>

Man, talk about a slate of DNC talking points. And talk about rank pessimism. Although I guess those phrases unfortunately have become coterminous.

Un-freakin’-believe-able.

Here’s a memo for trust-fund liberals in the national media:

George W. Bush’s legacy will include the following:

1) Toppling the stone-age barbarism of the Taliban and ushering in freedom and democracy to a country that didn’t even rise to the level of third-world status as recently as the Fall of 2001.

2) Toppling Saddam’s gruesome dictatorship and setting up the platform from which a real democracy can arise in the Middle-East.

3) Libya’s unilateral disarmament.

4) Keeping the country united in the wake of 9/11. And, no, Chomsky, the fact that a bunch of “librule” college students, McGovern and Watergate-era liberal university professors, and spaced-out perma-malcontents, are all angry and upset about George Bush does not actually mean the country is “divided.” Hell, if the country is divided now, what does that tell you about the state of affairs during “Landslide” Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society?”

5) Fundamental tax reforms.

6) Fundamental energy reforms.

7) The commencement of the national dialogue about the former “third rail of American politics.”

That’s what sane and informed adults will remember about this presidency in 20-odd years.

The big picture, not the pet peeves.

It happened that way with Truman.

And with Kennedy.

With Reagan too.

And that’s how it will be with regards to Bush 43.
