ROLLING STONE MAG: BUSH 'WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY?'

"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...

[Remole]

Where is that magazine cover of Klinton sitting down with his legs spread open and . . . . ?

[SeaBiscuit]

No, I don't agree with that hippie rag. My post was addressed to that one question. If you think that W is being entirely honest concerning the 'unknowns' that have been streaming in here since 9/11 and that position doesn't constitute a possible terrorist threat then your both are in denial. I'm not.

[Caipirabob]

Yes, quite frequently I am seen reading "Rolling Stone" magazine and praising it for it's incisive political insight and uncanny clarity on important social issues.

That is, of course, when I have the urge to scrape it off the bottom of the neighbor's birdcage.

Down that road of history....W will be one of the top presidents. However, clintoon will prove to be the most corrupt presidents ever.

Completely sealing (one) border is simply not reasonable AND would not stop determined terrorists in any event. Thanks for the reply though - I just wanted to make sure where you are coming from - I don't believe I am in denial about our President doing everything reasonably possible to protect us against terrorism (although that's probably exactly how I would feel, isn't it, were I in denial ; )

[SeaBiscuit]

It took only 19 terrorists to destroy the WTC, a portion of the Pentagon, kill over 3,000, cost us billions and change American lives possibly forever.. How many unknowns have slipped in from the southern border since 9/11..? ..so, how many may have been terrorists.. NO ONE knows.

A "reasonable" attempt to shutdown the borders has not been made.. there should have been a healthy military presence 5 minutes after 9/11.. but there was not. If ever there was a time in our history that the President had a very legitimate reason to secure the southern borders by use of the Military and the Money needed to do that, it was after 9/11.

Yes, of course, we can not "completely" seal everything.. but neither has a "reasonable" response been made towards the protection of a very well known avenue for foreign intruders. The gap between, very little being done and 'a reasonable response' is huge, just like the uncertainty of who is in this country via the southern border. It took only 19 to commit horror we can never forget, so how can we say a 'reasonable amount of security' has been administered if there are untold numbers that have slipped in since 9/11.. when NO ONE knows with any degree of certainty how many or where they are in this country? Do you know? GWB? Anyone?

That, has always boggled my mind, that GWB didn't get a better handle on this specific area of possible infiltration.

[clawrence3]

Well, it can "boggle your mind" but that does not go toward the man's INTEGRITY. Whether a 64% increase in Border Security since 9/11 is "reasonable" or not does not go to the man's integrity either. Even a DECREASE in Border Security does not necessarily go to his integrity. That's my point.

[SeaBiscuit]

lol, ok. Integrity's denial or blind eye vs. reality. Take your pick. Over and out.

[Let's Roll]

And of course Rolling Stone is the last word when it comes to detailed knowledge of ALL US Presidential accomplishments.

[clawrence3]

Thanks for backing off the "integrity: line of attack - at least we can agree to disagree then whether the 64% increase in Border Security since 9/11 is a blind eye vs. reality or not - until next time ; )

"Rolling Stone really knows its demographic. Whining adolescents."

In their 30s and 40s.

[Doomonyou]

Bush's Fault?

[harveywashbanger]

I don't get the "LOL."

[harveywashbanger]

I think you're thinking of the Rolling Stones, not Rolling Stone Magazine. The Stones hired the Angels for security at Altamont.

[bray]

They ought to know, the Stoning Roll is the worst magazine in history. It only makes sense if you are Rolling Joints.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

Aside from Reagan's unforgivable and unexcusable silence over HIV/AIDS, I agree with Urbane_Guerilla. I'm culling the database, but Bush's flip-flops over the past several months about when exactly the U.S. decided to go to war seem to take the cake in my opinion. Also, these town hall meetings are getting more and more disgusting; can we have at least one meeting that doesn't have a henpecked audience loaded with poo-poo questions for once?

[harveywashbanger]

This is a sad thing to read. Do you have anything a bit more constructive to say, Lancey?

[harveywashbanger]

How about his vows to fire anyone in his office who is connected with a leak regarding Valerie Plame? Now come on. If you say something, stand by it. I haven't seen a lot of that lately. That is an integrity issue.

Sorry but this President, whom I at one time had a lot of faith in, has soured his two terms in office with lies and botched ideas. I love the conservative movement more than I do standing by someone simply out of partisan pride.

[clawrence3]

Please review exactly what the President said re: Plame. He did not lie about anything that was unclassified. If he did, I would agree that goes to "integrity". As for "botched ideas", even I don't agree with him 100% of the time, but I don't expect perfection either.

[harveywashbanger]

Thanks for your response, clawrence. My comments go back to what he said regarding someone leaking information in his staff. Why, when Rove, God bless him, did leak, did Bush not follow through and ask him to resign? I don't get it. That to me goes toward integrity.
