Worst ever? Or just fifth worst?

The debate rages between Bush critics who insist that he is the worst president in US history, and the pro-Bush people, vigorously defending their hero by insisting that he’s merely the fifth worst president in US history.

That’s a just a highlight of the Outlook (opinion) section of the Washington Post this weekend, which included a number of articles on the question of how history will view George W. Bush. Some of the articles included:

Move Over, Hoover
He’s The Worst Ever
He’s Only Fifth Worst
At Least He’s Not Nixon

Wow. When “at least he’s not Nixon” and “he’s only the fifth worst” are the pro-Bush columns, you know Bush is in trouble. If Bush could run again, I would recommend this campaign sign:

Bush - probably better than nixon

No contest. George W. Bush is the worst President we have ever had. Now, answer me this Adam: Who can save us in 20O8?

I fear GW and his Rove Robots in Congress have done so much damage, we might never recover.

Nixon was a prince among men compared to Bush. Nixon cried once and loved his dog. I don’t believe Bush has ever cried (fake tears maybe) or loved his dog.

And then there is China. I think it will turn out to have been a good thing that Nixon went to China—GW and his “shoot first and ask questions later” style still has the time and idiocy to undo anything good Nixon did for our relationship with China–ditto the rest of the world.
