B) I think Joe S. from Lowell MA makes an excellent point. The only legacy that really matters to this buffoon is the increase in his and his family's personal wealth and that of his co-conspirators. I bet from his point of view, things he could do to "improve" his legacy would be: * get rid of the inheritance tax * Get rid of capital gains taxes * Privatize Social Security A) I think Voinovich is a complete moron to think there's anything to salvage from this Bush debacle.

The records from his father's government service have all been sealed, the records from his term as governor have all been sealed, and have fun wrangling in the courts over "executive privelege" and the protections of signing statements. We have been waiting for seven and a half years to find out who made the energy policy for this country. The true legacy that Bush leaves behind is the number of competent, committed, and dare I say, moral public leaders forced into early retirement or irrelevance for making the mistake of doing their jobs. Truly upset about George W. Bush? Then make sure the next president calls upon his unique talents and devotion to duty abd names him Ambassador to Iraq. Saves the trouble of the legal system and seems like justice is still served. No one from the Bush administration will ever be impeached or convicted.

LEGACY?! As commander in chief of one of the most powerful military forces known to mankind, Bush has allowed a bunch of rag tag religious zeolots with no air force, no navy, no intelligence network, and no industrial military infrastructure to not only attack us, but also to keep us engaged in the worst foreign policy debacle in history for 5+ years, to the tune of $600+Billion, 3600+ US fatalities, and countless civilian casulties. There is no leagacy to salvage!!! Only, WORST PRESIDENT EVER! Legacy? LEGACY?!

I can only hope that the fantastic misdeeds of Papa Bush's foolish son will pull the whole family's legacy down the drain. Because, remember, Jeb is waiting in the wings... And, by all accounts, he's more ruthless (and, unfortunately, smarter) than GW. I'll go out on a limb and predict that the Bush Family Plan is to let the Democrats win in '08 so they inherit the unrepairable mess Bush left behind, and thus be seen as responsible for it. By 2012, Jeb will run, and win. It's at this point that we see a true dictatorship. The Bush family has been in the White House, in one capacity or another for all but 8 of the last 26 years.

And because of that I was among many labeled unpatriotic. Bring our men and women home. Your legacy is what it is and its too late to do anything to change it now. And it wasn't my vote that put you in power either time.

No mention of our dead kids wasted in Bush's War Of Choice - the war Voinovich says "...the administration f--ked up...". His war will provide an underwhelming chapter among others of the same ilk, I suppose. Bush needn't concern himself about his legacy. He will have one that will long out live him, the dammage from which will take generations of dedication and political will to repair. Yup, yup.
