Headline of the Day

screen cap from the National Journal website of an article headlined: 'Go Ahead, Admit It: George W. Bush Is a Good Man' and sub-headed: 'In the rush to mythologize and demonize our presidents, we forget they’re human.' and accompanied by a picture of the former president with his mouth hanging open

Ha ha NOPE!

This story is currently posted at the conservative National Journal, to which I won't be linking, but it's easy enough to find it if you're really so inclined.

There are few bad faith arguments I more loathe than the one which implies anyone who criticized George W. Bush did so exclusively for partisan and personal reasons. I don't give a fucking shit whether George W. Bush is "a good man" (whatever that means). What I care about, and always have, is that he was a terrible president.
