Well, it seems that the folks at Vanity Fair realized that they won't have George W. Bush to kick around any more. So they decided to launch the journalistic equivalent of thermonuclear war against him in an attempt to get its shot at a "draft of history."
In a 14 web-page tome (the photo at the top right is at its beginning) that fancies itself an "oral history," the magazine hauls out every criticism, real or imagined, hurled at the president during the past eight years. It reminds everyone that the media's favorite stereotype of conservatives and Republicans is that they're dumb (I guess Ike's orchestration of D-Day was some kind of accident, and George W. Bush's MBA -- he is the first president to hold one -- was some kind of gift from Poppy).
Sadly, the magazine finds a few former administration officials to pile on. One of them likens Bush to Sarah Palin (that's supposed to be an insult). We're left with the long-discredited meme of Dick Cheney as puppet master and Bush as impotent since Katrina (then how did Bush get that Iraq Surge past everyone and make it stick anyway?).
All you really need to know to spare yourself a truly painful read is what is in the tease paragraph after the headline. Brace yourself:
The threat of 9/11 ignored. The threat of Iraq hyped and manipulated. Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib. Hurricane Katrina. The shredding of civil liberties. The rise of Iran. Global warming. Economic disaster. How did one two-term presidency go so wrong? A sweeping draft of history—distilled from scores of interviews—offers fresh insight into the roles of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and other key players.
Gosh, I don't really want to do this, because it's so easy. But I'll pick off some of the low-hanging fruit, and let commenters handle the rest. Here goes:
- The threat of Iraq hyped and manipulated? Uh, there were weapons of mass destruction (yes .... there .... were), not to mention 550 metric tons of yellowcake uranium. Really, guys. Oh, and "the sixteen words" ("The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa") were, and still are, true. Take the blinders off.
- The shredding of civil liberties? You guys must be referring to that FISA law that Barack Obama voted to keep in place?
- Global warming? Vanity Fair, that is so 1998. Didn't you know that "2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved"?
- Economic disaster? You must be referring to the economic disaster brought on this June, just as the economy was growing again, when the Democrats' leading lights gave rise to the "POR (Pelosi-Obama-Reid) Economy." The terrible triumvirate's promises to starve the economy of the energy it needs to keep growing and to radically raise taxes as soon as they had control of the Oval Office and Congress caused businessmen, entrepreneurs and investors to batten down the hatches and prepare for the worst. The Democratic-driven, decades-in-the-making debacles at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- enterprises that were run into the ground by Democratic cronies -- ultimately led to the perceived (but, in my opinion, not actual) need for Treasury's giant SUCKUP (the Seemingly Unlimited Cash Kitty Under Paulson) and the other bailouts that followed. If Bush and the GOP are at fault, it's for not screaming loud enough or early enough, and for acquiescing to the bailout blackmail. But, as Billy Joel would say, "they didn't start the fire."
Commenters can feel free to expand on these points and deal with the others I didn't touch on.

December 29, 2008 - 23:43 ET by mikejWonder if Caroline Kennedy's Ivy League education will be questioned as a matter of favoritism because of her last name?
Oh wait, I'm sorry....she's a liberal so that kind of stuff isn't questioned.

I like it when they quote Richard Clark - not when they don't
December 29, 2008 - 23:51 ET by Gary HallTom.. this is one of many illuminating statements from Richard Clark (how many times did that piece quote him?) which the MSM, does not want the US public to see. And it changes the entire national discussion on the topics of Rendition and torture, does it not?
[This from White House intelligence advisor Richard Clarke's book] - my bold.
RICHARD CLARKE -
And shortly thereafter, Bill Clinton ordered the CIA to establish the US program of extraordinary rendition (PDD#39); the idea being that we could ship them off to you know who in Egypt - so that they could be tortured to get information out of them.
I'd like to touch on Kosovo, but got to make it short. Clinton sold it on a hyped up genocide which was determined at the Hague not to have occurred. Courts in Belgium convicted Blair and Clinton for Crimes against Humanity. Sec. Richardson said the war was about America's energy independence and our values (Cheney could have never said it better). Jimmy Carter and Nelson Mandela condemned the Clinton war.
Iraq? I'll leave the WMD issue with only one. Senator Carl Levin (D), Intelligence Committee, stated on Harball in Nov. of 2005 that Iraq absolutely had nuclear weapons - of that there was not question. I think he was the only one to have made such a claim.

Vanity Fair Article
December 29, 2008 - 23:56 ET by merlin61Thank you Tom for your response to this
disgraceful article of non-truth. I for one, am
not looking forward to the next four years of
Barack Obama. Pres.Bush and Vice Pres.Cheney
have nothing to be ashamed of. Job well done.
They did the best they could under very serious
threats of terror, and kept us safe for 8 years.
To them, thank you.
DON'T FRET
December 30, 2008 - 00:07 ET by timzankThe Messiah will falter and flail....they all do. The only difference is he won't suffer the venom of the MSM like GWB did.
We were kept safe and for that I thank George W Bush. The end times are not here just because this empty suit got elected, this country is FAMOUS for making mistakes. And also for inventing everything worthwile in the last couple centuries...relax...we'll recover and prosper in spite of this bullsh&t.
See, I knew it!
December 30, 2008 - 00:14 ET by legacyrepublicanSee, I knew it was not the Democat's who were not in control of Congress holding fast against Bush's agenda. It was Senator Katrina! That shameful vixen. Who let her get into Congress in the first place?*
*Warning, the foregoing is a simulation of the average Obama voter's possible reponse after Nov. 4th to reading Vanity Fair. It is only a simulation. Had there actually been stimulation of the reader's brain cells, the results of Nov. 4th would have never happened.
Let's see.... The threat
December 30, 2008 - 00:22 ET by JerryLet's see....
The threat of 9/11??? Grown and cultivated under Clinton (D).... Ignored under Clinton (D).... Meet with CIA heads twice in 8 years, Clinton (D).... Bin Laden's extradition turned down, Clinton (D).
Threat of Iraq??? Eliminated by Bush (R).
Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib??? Americans protected by Bush (R).
Hurricane Katrina??? Threat ignored by Gov. Blanco (D)... ignored by Mayor Nagin (D)... Lack of any hurricane evacuation plan in a major city that is BELOW sea level, Nagin (D)... Delay at requesting federal assistance, Blanco (D).
Shredding of Civil Liberties??? Denial of school choice, (D)... Denial of retirement investment choice, (D)... Denial of baby's right to LIFE, (D)... Denial of right to communicate with terrorists, (R).
Global warming??? A get rich SCAM invented by Gore (D).
Economic disaster??? Brought on by Frank (D), Dodd (D), Raines (D).
When asked if he went to war with Iraq to derail the impeachment vote: “I don’t think any serious person would believe that any President would do such a thing." - President Clinton (Dec 1998).
One small quibble
December 30, 2008 - 09:01 ET by WingletDriver"Lack of any hurricane evacuation plan in a major city that is BELOW sea level, Nagin (D)"
New Orleans had an evacuation plan that FEMA put together. It included using school buses (the ones underwater in the famous photo) and AmTrack (which offered help and was refused). Nagin never implemented it. He was most likely unaware that it existed.

Believe it or not, our posts don't go unnoticed. I would venture to say that nearly all of the MSM slimebags, print and tv, read each and every one of the posts on this web site, especially in hope of seeing their names in print, and we get revenge from the fact that they can't respond except for an occasional pseudo-name liberal response.
I know for a fact that all of the 'big-name' assasins on MSDNC read these posts regularly, and I take great pride in exposing them.
P.S. The 'moron' also flies super-sonic fighter jets. The MSM journalists and pundits generally can barely navigate the NY and DC subway. The exception is Cafferty on CNN who can drive a gas hog in NYC well enough to hit-and-run a pedestrian.

and for the people still trying to contort their beliefs into sailor quality knots in order to defend bush i have to give an extra deep belly laugh. you are all incredibly lucky that we now have a president who can walk and chew gum at the same time. you may not like Obama, but you will enjoy the wonders of leadership as will all americans.

December 30, 2008 - 05:00 ET by AgnosticArrogant much?
While I rarely defend Bush he is not as bad as the character created by the media. However, come back in 2-4 years when Obama has actually led something and tell me about his leadership skills. So far I am impressed with his ability to spit in the face of every supporter who has got him where he is and still have people slobber all over themselves about his attributes. He has already done some surprisingly good things IMO (and bad) but he did so by breaking the promises he made during his career of campaigning. You could say he made those promises just to get elected but that may be okay for a Democrat but a Republican would eviscerated for one compromise that led to breaking a campaign promise - see "No new Taxes".

December 30, 2008 - 09:34 ET by SmartypantsBarack Obama has not accomplished anything of yet, and his minions are already casting a spot on Mt. Rushmore for this guy. The only thing he has really disaplayed is the ability to be a strong politician, which really involves being less than honest and telling people what they want to hear whent they want to hear it, while being relatively believable. He has also displayed an uncanny ability for manipulation (e.g., having opponents removed from the ballot). This guy ran on a platform of "change" and he has installed every Clinton crony he could find in his cabinet. He picked a V.P. choice who is a lifetime D.C. insider. "Change"?

I wonder when his wife's close friendship with bernadette, bill ayers wife, a domestic terrorist herself, will see the light of day?

Saddam had WMDs. That's a fact supported by all the WMDs we found. Oh by the wy, I'm an Iraq war vet and I'm damned glad we got the weapons before they could be used against us.
Obama's walking/gum chewing abilities are just the tip of his repretoire. All the 'wonders' of Mr. Hopey Changeytude:
Obama and his Democrat majority will increase taxes and spending. They will carry out their threat to take money from taxpayers and give money to those who do not pay taxes, let alone work. The trillion dollars he plans on spending will be a drop in the bucket before he's through. It won't take long before the economy collapses completely.
The Eurotrash, North Korea, China, Venezuela, and Islamic comrades (Iran, in particular) are rejoicing in this latest tragicomic episode in American politics. We are now saddled with a corrupt, socialist, terrorist cavorting, narcissistic charlatan, who suits their agenda.
During his political career he's accumulated Frank Marshall Davis, Saul Alinsky, William Ayers, Bernadine Dorhn, Hamas, The Nation of Islam, CAIR, the Communist Party USA, The Socialist Workers Party, Daniel Ortega, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Jeramiah Wright, among his mentors, supporters, admirers, and friends.
The world's malefactors now have a 'change they can believe in', especially when he intends to 'negotiate without preconditions'.
You braindead Obamabots have placed all of your faith and adoration into an empty suit with serious defects.

my thoughts are with you,
December 31, 2008 - 09:53 ET by AgnosticI hope whatever in life has created in you such a need of projected bad will upon others finds of way of healing your spirit/soul/conscious. You words announce delight but the statements are filled with hate. I hope you find what you need to soothe yourself and can live a more peaceful life. Very little you accuse is in the majority of what I read on any website, liberal or conservative, but it is the majority among those that have an unreasonable desire to foist their ideals on others.
Good luck and may you find solace in seeing the fruition of your political desires with the election of Obama. Hopefully if you are disappointed with Obama you will be able to face the disappointment better than you seem to face disagreement. If he meets or exceeds your expectations I just hope you and Obama are right about what is best for this nation - right now I do not believe that to be so.

December 31, 2008 - 10:15 ET by dr_devil_dogi dont think i had any bad will. i laughed at the ridiculousness of trying to spin a story to fit a certain point of view when the whole (supposed) point of this site is to "bust" the spin already existing in the media. though sarcastic, which is my birthright, i was never mean. well, maybe a little, but bush really sucked. his co-workers, confidants, friends, family, and the american people have all pretty much agreed on that. i just thought maybe no one here had heard the news. (get it...the news?) ah, probably wasted on you anyway.
and btw, i dont have any special soft spot for obama. the guys a politician, i predict you will have plenty of fodder for the next eight years to gripe, moan and blog about. just thought that maybe, for one second, you could take a deep breath and see how ridiculous all this hate is...and you know? maybe you did.
also, whose quote is that at the bottom? did you make that up? it's very appropriate. just change '2008 elections' to 'all elections'. or are you implying that those who did not vote for obama (me, btw) are people and those who did are simply masses?

December 31, 2008 - 10:26 ET by sherylsimsI am just curious if you actually read the article at the top of this thread, or skimmed it for the word Bush and then started posting. Did you check any of the links (those are the parts in red) and if so, what do you think? That everything you have said about what a horrible person President Bush is is actually true? Or could it be that you have succumbed to some of the lies of the media (which are proven to be lies if you do a little research). I wish you would use your own brain and not just repeat lies about our president, and then rant about how much WE here hate everyone and everything because you are just making a fool of yourself.
sheesh
December 31, 2008 - 10:41 ET by dr_devil_doghave you read the vanity fair piece? i did. all i was saying was that the quotes are from your own conservative right wing chums. they are quotes. the writer hardly wrote anything, he wrote down a bunch of quotes. people who have worked with bush think he's a dumass. sorry. thats what they said. my point is trying to blame vanity fair or the writer is hilarious, they are a vehicle for quotes from bush's top advisors. it's not their fault the guy was a horrible president.
and as far as the lies of the media...i refer you back to my point again...duh, the crap on those links is as much bs as anything on other links. everyone has an opinion, but here in your little enclave outside thoughts are considered devastating. what the hell do i know about global warming? what do you know? whatever it is i guarantee you read someone elses opinion and it fit what you wanted to believe so now you take it as fact.
Yes, but you are doing the
December 31, 2008 - 10:56 ET by sherylsimsYes, but you are doing the exact same thing. You don't know any more than the majority of the posters here, you just have a differing viewpoint. You have a low opinion of the current president, just like most of us have a low opinion of the president that will soon take office. I am not sure why you are even here... Do you hope to "enlighten" us? Or do you like to be "lynched"? (referencing your previous hooded robes statement) Or did you just get lost on your way somewhere else? I am not really trying to argue with you, I just find you incredibly offensive.

Hey devil bunghole
December 30, 2008 - 09:27 ET by SmartypantsHey devil bunghole meister: The "whole article" is not a bunch of quotes from Bush Administration people. Besides quotes in this instance do not consitute material evidence of any kind. We had a bipartisan group--the 9/11 Commission--which performed an exhaustive investigation of everything leading up to 9/11 as well as the Iraq War, and they concluded that the Bush Administration used no deceptive practices in making its case for the war. An independent bi-partisan commission, however, is trumped (in your book and that of Vanity Fair) by what exactly? Also, blaming Bush for "global warming" is downright hilarious, when the Kyoto Treaty was voted down during the Clinton Administration by something like 99-0 in the Senate, and the average earth temperature has actually dropped during Bush's term in office! These are facts, bunghole, as opposed to your empty invective. Torture? How can one simultaneously blame the president for not stopping 9/11 while at the same time criticize him for everything he does to stop another attack? Only in liberal-land does this make sense. We're supposed to know exactly when and where the enemy is going to strike us, but we're not to listen in on their communication, or follow their money flow or be mean to them when we are interrogating them. Right.
Face it, if GWB were a Democrat and everything else remained exactly as it is, the media would have given him a free pass on most of what he was blamed for. A Democrat president would not have been able to do much more than Bush did in New Orleans, but the media would template would not have blamed it on the president. It would have been cast as just a horrible natural disaster made worse by citizens who live below sea level in a hurricane zone.
You're all wet with your smug and empty posting. Come back when you actually bring some cogent logic and reasoning to your empty arsenal.
dense for a smartypants
December 31, 2008 - 09:15 ET by dr_devil_dogi never claimed anything in the article was true or untrue, i was simply laughing at the fact that your blind party devotion is exactly what you claim to be on this site to avoid. if you bungholes had your way the media would be exactly the same but leaning as far right as possible (as evidenced from the insanely biased posts on this here blog).
another funny little fact to blow your conservative mind. you monkeys always talk about "come back to me in 2 years when obama has ruined the country!" "he hasnt done anything and everyone is worshiping him!!" "wah wah wah!!" well guess what? your doing the same thing! doh! (slap yourself in the forhead now). you dismiss him, bring him down, and are basically a bunch of negative A-holes when the whole point of our whole freaking country is to be united....i remember that somewhere, "united states..." something like that, i forget. and before you get all hot under the collar you should remind yourself that deep down inside, somewhere in that murky thing you call a soul, even you know bush is a total douche. i didnt care if o'reilly won the election. i, like a majority of americans wanted frat boy out. you gonna try and defend that guy? you must be nuts.

December 31, 2008 - 11:16 ET by dr_devil_dogbut it seems to me that some interesting questions have been raised. for example: will obama eat a lot of eggs? who knows? maybe we can get to the bottom of that one.
or on a more serious note, what exactly is the problem with the vanity fair article? should they not have printed it because there are some websites that have highly debatable information that run contrary to the statements given by the interviewees? why has bush stirred up so much acrimony amongst his advisors and colleagues anyway? does the press not have a responsibility to be critical of the president when he blunders? i would expect, and have seen, the same treatment given to democrats. clinton was nearly impeached for getting head, gore was crucified for being stiff and robotic (which he was) kerry was sold down the river as swift boaters for truth tore him limb from limb. this is the way the media works, am i wrong? i find it humorous that you see some acute bias from your perspective while i see a swarming hoard of maggots that will consume whatever story is selling at the moment. where is the truth? will we ever know? very doubtful. but i certainly havent found much of it here.

December 31, 2008 - 11:44 ET by sherylsimsHe was impeached, but not found guilty. Impeached means you were tried. He was impeached for treason but they managed to turn it around to Monica Lewinsky and people conveniently forgot about all the laws he violated. He sold the Lincoln bedroom for political contributions, he sold technology secrets to the Chinese, plenty of other things but magically the Lewinsky distraction was enough to make them drop all those other details. It is public record, you could look it up. I am only working off my amazing memory.

January 2, 2009 - 07:40 ET by dr_devil_dog1. superficial charm. umm, yeah, heaps of it too. i seem to remember a republican...what was his name? actor, good looking, incredibly charming...reagan! thats it. yeah, that guy had some superficial charm too.
2. grandiose self-worth. i dont remember obama ever stating that he was the one we were all waiting for. thats the evil msm doing that.
3.pathological lying. he's a politician. name a politician who isnt a liar. i bet bush wont cross your lips. maybe nixon? clinton? reagan(an actor and a politician, double whammy)? i dont know much about carter, but i bet he told a few fibs in his day. if they were not charming, lying snake oil salesmen we would'nt know their names.
4. conning and manipulative. yeah, again, a politician.
5. lack of remorse or guilt. thats a funny one, particularly after bush was just asked what his biggest regret was...i'm beginning to think you are actually talking about wee bush.
6. callous and lack of empathy. that is just a bizzare statement. do you have any examples? considering that he has spent most of his life trying to better his community and our country i find this an inexplicable statement.
7. lifestyle of a parasite. wow. you are a sad, strange, bitter person. i wish there were more "parasites" who were willing to pass up cushy jobs for big bucks so they could serve their community and their country. if thats being a parasite then we need more of em. i guess teachers, soldiers, policemen, firemen etc are all just parasites in you view. disgraceful. you should be ashamed.
8. irresponsible in relationships. "mostly" radicals and communists? thats just dumb. should every student whose been in ayers class, every person whose sat through a wright sermon be considered an enemy of the state? should anyone who ever talked to or listened to these two be locked up?
9. nine is gibberish.
10. most relationships short term. like his wife?
11. blah blah blah. gets away with what others cant, like beating the devil out of mccain in a presidential election...oh, wait, anyone can do that. and where was bush during the vietnam war again? where was cheney? where were most of the republican party? yeah, thats what i thought...

Oh yeah...in honor of your new socialist friend in the White House;
Greetings to the Socialist-in-Chief 20 January, 2009
To quote those bimbos, the Dixie Twits, I’m ‘not ready to make nice’.
We just spent 8 years listening to vile, rancid, visceral BDS every single day from HuffPo, DailyKos, and the MSM. Years of gutter journalism, anti-American hatespeech, and a concerted effort on the part of the malevolent Left to eviscerate this country, has proven that we need to fight tooth and nail to take our country back.
To all the morons who suddenly have a new-found ‘pride’ in America now that a socialist is in the White House:
Old Glory represents people far better than you—the veterans and those still serving—who earned your right to live your life in as much ignorance as you wish. When the next Republican president is elected, you can go back to flying your Soviet rags while you lament the loss of your communist utopia, as demonstrated by participants in your little Obama victory rallies:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah-I1wWw2HA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7Sou5TQUZA
Since the 2000 election, we were saturated with indignant leftwing turds telling us that ‘dissent is patriotic’ and we should ‘question authority’. This was done throughout a time of war, no less.
Well, no less important is the questioning and dissent from those opposed to the coming socialist regime.
You’ll notice that not one single leftwing pissant who trolls on here and other conservative sites, ever pops up on a patriotic thread praising the military, or acknowledges success of Bush’s counterterrorism efforts which kept this country safe. Not one of them has the decency to thank or appreciate the troops who fight Islamic terrorists hellbent on a world Caliphate.
But you can bet your ass they will post every mealy-mouthed anti-military/anti-U.S. diatribe they can muster.
I half-expect it from foreign douche bags who usually hate us except when it’s time to pull them out of an economic crisis, natural disaster, or rescue them from invaders. What’s worse is putting up with homegrown malfeasants who rely on the sacrifice of those they despise, but would never move to another country.
Plan on having us scutinize and raise hell about Obama’s policies, who he associates with, and how he got into power, for the next four years. He’s a charlatan and an empty suit who will take this country to hell in a socialist handbasket.
Yeah, he spent his life "bettering his community", with radical groups like ACORN and "guys in the 'hood" like William Ayers.
He's a human bug light for some of the worst excrement on the planet.
