"President George W. Bush is being crucified in the public square in spite of his plain decency and goodness,

No W is being crucified exactly because he is a decent human. He has let the MSM turn on him in a shark type feeding frenzy. Those around him seem powerless to stop it or get him to act. It is too late now to do anything about it. The more he talks the more he feeds them. It is a co-dependent relationship of the most destructive kind. He needs to just step off the stage and let the public and the MSM get on to other targets. A modern President in the US needs to be able to control the press and/or keep them neutral. Reagan was a genius at it and Clinton was very good at it. Bush Senior was the prototype for W. Many things he did started the sharks down this road. At least he did not generate a new page of gaffes on Youtube every time he gave a public speech.

Paraphrased.... a lie can circle the earth before the truth can get its shoes on.
The Bush admin with its new tone would not defend against the lies and let the MSM define them. Will history correct the lies, nope as long as the liberals are writing it. The Obama depression will all be blamed on GWB just as Hoover got all the blame for FDRs blunders.
