Bush's legacy

Will be the decades of cleanup, firing of loyal Bushies and Neocons still lurking in the government, and reparations. Not exactly what he had in mind:

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) -- President Bush's final-year agenda is a stripped-down list of what he can realistically hope to get done, since the clout he once touted is fading away.

Bush will venture to four other continents, get more involved than ever in trying to forge Middle East peace, and continue to command two wars that assure his relevancy to the end. As Iraq improves, he must now deal with renewed violence in Afghanistan and upheaval in Pakistan.

At home, Bush will try to extend two domestic achievements that are dear to his legacy - the No Child Left Behind education law, and tax cuts that otherwise expire in 2010.

Long gone are the big ideas of Social Security and immigration reform, which collapsed on Capitol Hill. His final State of the Union speech in late January is expected to reflect today's policy reality, eschewing new initiatives in favor of unfinished proposals.

Bush's legacy of peace? Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Palestine, Iran, North Korea? Peace? Are you kidding me?

Bush's legacy of No Child Left Behind? Education broken and children left behind.

Bush's legacy of trying to break Social Security?

Bush's legacy of tax cuts? For the poor poor rich? The really poor? Forget it. They're just lazy.

Bush's legacy of working hard? Just how many days did he take for vacations, anyway?

Bush's legacy is the biggest shitpile we have ever seen in the White House. We are going to be coping with his ruinous legacy for decades.

And it's all his.
