But chasing communist ghosts didn't do McCarthy very good, and it will be what he was remembered for. Assuming history is going to protect Bush's name is a stretch IMO.

McCarthy was not a President. How many Senators took up our time in American History class? But, Presidents are the core of our history. So, I still believe Bush will be written up as a great President.
And, perhaps you are looking at Bush's potential legacy through the eyes of a blue stater. Remember, there is a South that many think of him in glowing terms. So as not to alienate the South, I believe his legacy will be softened to greatness. Also, many Israelis love him, since he did not intefere with that summer war in Lebanon a few years ago. I think Jews (aka Israelis) have a knack for codifying history (i.e., the Exodus, and the other stories that the world has so far accepted, regardless if it actually happened as stated).
