Noonan really hit it out of the park with this, because there isn't any partisan smarm about it. If one really looks at Bush, his intellect, his decisions, his accomplishments in office, and then looks at how the media portray him, it's like they're covering some fictional creation and calling it Bush.
BUMP for an excellent article by Ms. Noonan.
You are right Darkwolf, out of the park and beyond the parking lots!
That's the game. Recall their fictional Reagan -- the dimwitted warmonger who paled in comparison to the urbane, intelligent Gorbachev.
Meanwhile, the real Reagan had a photographic memory, wrote incisive essays, speeches and radio shows for years, then upon achieving the Presidency proceeded to do what his own aides thought impossible -- undermine and destroy the Soviet empire.
Well said, and so true!
"Democrat", the Party of Hate!
