"George W. Bush's presidency appears headed for colossal historical disgrace."
So declares ROLLING STONE magazine in a planned cover story, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
"The Worst President in History?" streets Friday.
Developing...
Exactly how is this a bad thing?
They can't remember.
What the Bushes prove, father and son, is that money and social connections count far far more than intelligence and principle in the political arena. That's not so unusual, that is just the history of mankind.
W has given some wonderful speeches in support of the defense of this country, speeches which more than met the historical circumstances they addressed. It would have been nice if he had anything to do with their composition, but he is not that intelligent, unlike Reagan. One of the differences (besides innate intelligence, of which Reagan had far more), was that Reagan was a man of integrity, and W is not.
The attacks on W are ridiculous and overblown. But that does not mean he is anyone conservatives should admire.
The Bushes disdain Ronald Reagan precisely because he did not come from the moneyed preceincts which give us David Souter and Harriet Meirs. In the Bush's eyes, money equals entitlement equals governance.
W was better than the men he ran against, no doubt. He is just not near anything the man this country needs both in a time of peril and in a time when the moors are coming loose.
I need to avoid same, because my job requires clarity of thought...
Or Bush II ie. BusII
Folks at rolling stoned probably to young to remember jimmy carter.
20% interest rates, U.S. embassy personnel held hostage by iran, give away the panama canal,just dreadful.
Only if we only count the last four years as "history". Of course by that he would be "The Best President in History" as well
Sir, you are fogetting Woodrow Wilson, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Lyndon B. Johnson.
Especially Bill Clinton. His only legacy is that he was the absolute worst president. Don't take that away from him.

It's odd that there are no Republican presidents on the "worst president" list. When we look at the long list of possible contenders for that title, they are all Democrats. Check it out.

No surprise. They did back the Dixie Chicks a few years back with that airbrushed cover making them look a lot less fat.
That's just an utterly ridiculous statement. The easiest counterpoint to make is how can the worse president ever have been elected to a second term? The worse president has to be so bad that he'd be a one-termer otherwise how bad can he be if he got the American to re-elect him. He had to have something right....oh wait, I forgot, Bush cheated.
"Leading Historian" is an interesting concept. What exactly does one "lead" about history? This supposed expert on things that have already happened is "leading." "Leading Revisionist" of history seems more appropriate.
I love observing and knowing history for what it is and I have a great appetite for the knowledge. But, I do despise the idea of a bunch of liberals sitting around "leading" history. Why don't they get off their collective clymers and go out and help American grow and make some history of their own!!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
what's Rolling Stone.
oh, it's a MUSIC magazine.....
IF Bush is the worst, imagine how bad this fool would have been?!
I read Rollings Stone magazine once. The Doobies Broke up. Hasn't been anything to read in it since.
Worst magazine in history?
