The Washington Post is helping George Bush polish his flaccid legacy. Let's hope it's just a sympathetic one-off between two ex-lovers.

It looks like the Bush-Cheney team and their minions have begun to roll out their "legacy project" plans to restore their administration's tarnished reputation.

Clinton gets no credit for his eight years of economic prosperity, Bush gets a pass on creating the worst crisis in generations, and Obama is to blame for everything. Is there something wrong with that story line?

I have not given up my desire for NBC, CBS, ABC, or Fox to present a documentary about the Bush transgressions during his eight triumphant year Presidency.

Continuing presidential transition custom, Bush leaves private note for Obama in Oval Office. Tells him where to find WMD in Iraq.

The bone of Bush's legacy will be gnawed over by the dogs of history and eventually there'll be a judgment. Until then, the new adminstration should just let the contrails of the plane ride to Texas dissipate.

The one word Americans use most to describe President Bush is "incompetent." While no compliment, the word fails to convey the condemnation warranted by the last eight years.
