Strange New Respect
August 19th, 2011




Continuing the series is Michael Tomasky at the Daily Beast:

Bush—and it leaves me speechless that he’s starting to look reasonable by comparison with the current crop of GOP presidential hopefuls—was hardly apologetic about his political views. But he and Karl Rove did have the sense to know when they were throwing gasoline on the domestic fire, and they did it in smallish doses. You might be able to Google up the odd careless quote from Bush about something like global warming, but in general, and especially on the occasions when he knew his words were being very closely watched, he steered well clear of extremism.

This comment from Galley Friend B.D. is worth re-posting:

This is hilarious given Tomasky’s past comments:http://goo.gl/Q8ccC

“Haunted by a ruined economy and unfinished wars, President Bush will need more than a memoir to rescue his reputation.” All that he needed, it turned out, was Rick Perry!
