Armed with a deep knowledge of the law, politics and public policy, as well as pen filled with all the colors stolen from Pepperland, the Blue Meanie’s mission is to pursue and prosecute the hypocrites, liars, and fools of politics and the media – which, in practical terms, is nearly all of them. Don’t even try to unmask him or he’ll seal you in a music-proof bubble and rendition you to Pepperland for a good face-stomping.

The Bush Legacy: Epic Failure

Taliban Bush

The Los Angeles Times reported this week that Bush administration officials received a two-page memo entitled "Speech Topper on the Bush Record," the talking points state that Bush "kept the American people safe" after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, lifted the economy after 2001 through tax cuts, curbed AIDS in Africa and maintained "the honor and the dignity of his office." For Bush's staff, upbeat talking points on his tenure – Los Angeles Times

Say what?

"Bush World" is not part of the reality-based world. As an unidentifed White House aid told author Ron Suskind several years ago, "we create our own reality." Bush World is a world of ideological propaganda and talking points regurgitated daily from the Drudge Report, to talk radio, to Faux News, to conservative columnists, newspapers and publications. An entire echo chamber of conservative media has been built to delude Americans – and themselves – into believing that up is down, black is white, and war is peace. It is the nightmarish world of George Orwell's 1984 writ large.

Despite this echo chamber's best efforts to reform the legacy of George W. Bush through revisionist history, reality-based history will remember George W. Bush simply: "Worst. President. Ever." The Bush legacy is one of epic failure.

(The descendants of Presidents James Buchanan and Millard Filmore may now rejoice in finally being relieved of their title.)

Osama Bin Laden in his wildest dreams could not have imagined causing as much destruction to the United States as George W. Bush and his sycophant supporters have succeeded in inflicting upon this country in eight short years.

Bush failed to protect America from foreign attack on 9/11, ignoring repeated intelligence warnings of an impending attack. His response was to shred the Constitution and set the Bill of Rights afire. His war of choice has ground our military into the dust of Iraq and Afghanistan, leaving our preparedness to defeat an enemy Bush has failed to defeat after seven long years still in doubt, and America more vulnerable than ever. Bush enjoyed birthday cake and playing guitar, indifferent to the suffering of his fellow Americans who were dying in the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. And for his final act, Bush has succeeded in destroying capitalism and begun our descent into socialism in an attempt to forestall possibly the next Great Depression into his successor's administration. Someone else will have to clean up the disaster that George has made of this country.

No George, history will not be kind to you. History will condemn you, and deservedly so.
