Sorry McG I know you admire him a great deal but that's how I see him.
You know I felt a bit sorry for Nixon when he left the White House in disgrace. But when this bloke leaves I won't feel a shred of sympathy, not a damn shred. America and the world will be much better off when he and his offsider Cheney are back in their corporate blood-sucking roles.
Not everyone shares your views. This article by Lanny Davis appeared in the LATimes earlier this year (it's archived now but you can contact them for a reprint). Mr. Davis - a Democrat who wished for nothing more than to see Dubya defeated in both elections - has not wavered in his opinions of the president over the years. He's no doubt criticized Bush's political policies, but he's naver wavered in his opinion of Bush's character, and has often commented favorably on the president's intelligence, compassion, warmth and good humor. He was closest to his friend in college (they were fraternity brothers), but according to Mr. Davis you would never have known that Bush came from privilege.
