Rush Limbaugh on Bush’s legacy:
“Long after we’re all dead and gone, when historians who are not yet born begin to write about this era, they’re going to place George Bush in the upper echelon of presidents who had a great vision for America, who looked beyond our shores, who didn’t just restrict himself to domestic policy niceties.”
CLICK HERE TO LISTENRush may not know it, but there is already a debate going on among historians. Rolling Stone recently wrote, “Many historians are now wondering whether Bush, in fact, will be remembered as the very worst president in all of American history.”

Oh, plucking fease~!~!~!~!
May 3rd, 2007 at 8:51 pmWow, Rush is dumber than he is fat.
May 3rd, 2007 at 8:53 pmBush is by far the worst president in American history. He isn’t as bad a say Vlad the Impaler, but then again ol’ Vlad wasn’t President of the United States. So, he really can’t be compared.
May 3rd, 2007 at 8:53 pmGeorge Bush’s vision? God and torture. That’s about it. Please, noone ever mix those two things together again.
Not to mention that Bush was isolationist before the September 11 attacks.
May 3rd, 2007 at 8:54 pmRush got him some refills on his perscriptions!
May 3rd, 2007 at 8:58 pmWhy isn’t RushLush on the podium in snake city? He’d make a perfect Repukelickan candidate.
May 3rd, 2007 at 8:59 pmSpudge, watch out, Vlad’s relatives live down the street.
May 3rd, 2007 at 8:59 pmI would think that the mere idea that he mismanaged global support and undermined the safety of the United States through various inhumane and illegal prisons would be reason enough alone to think that his place would not be among the great presidents, but perhaps somewhere with Polk, Grant, and Johnston as poor presidents.
May 3rd, 2007 at 8:59 pmFive out of eight British historians listed who they believed was the worst US President thus far picked Bush. Out of 43 options, 5 picked Shrub first… Oh, and one didn’t pick Bush just because “everyone else would”…
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:00 pmWhy? Because he wanted to end terrorism? Who doesn’t? Bush CERTAINLY is not going to be remembered for his effectiveness at ending terrorism.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:01 pmBush can tell Rush all about it when Bush gets to heaven.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:02 pmOne of the best economic periods in history. Keeping our country safe from domestic terrorism for nearly 6 years after being drawn into a global war on terror. Fighting to liberate the middle east from tyranny and terrorism. Discounting baseless partisan attacks, keeping free of personal and political scandal. Of course, it hasn’t been easy, but when today’s liberal friendly press no longer feels the political expedience of condemning Bush policies, and objective historians review the period, it looks like Rush is probably right, again. Bush’s Presidency may be remembered as one of the best ever.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:04 pmDo yourselves a favor.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:04 pmDon’t listen to Rush or his ilk, or consider anything written by or about him.
Maybe he’ll just go away if ignored long enough.
At some point in our distant future, the American citizenry will be so embarrassed by George W.’s legacy, they will amend the constitution to erase his presidency from history.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:05 pmAh yes, another oracular divination from Rush, delievered from deep within the depths of his own colon.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:06 pmTo His Fraudulency.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:08 pmJunkie Rush.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:09 pmThe only problem the historians will have is deciding which embarrassing photograph of him they’ll use to represent him in the text books. I think the words “worst president EVER” will become a tag line to his name in the near future.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:10 pmaaahhaaaaahhaaaahhaaaa, gasp, gulp, aahhaaah, gasp, chuckle, aaahahahahahahaha, wait I have a brilliant comment as soon as I catch my breath, aahhaahhaaaaaaaa, I’m dyin’ from laughter here …
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:12 pmthey’re going to place George Bush in the upper echelon of presidents…
They’re going to put him right up there with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan. His will be known as the most successful presidency ever! A time when peace ruled the world, when Bush balanced the federal budget and paid off the national debt. After the Rapture that will occur at the end of his term, which, by the way, the evil liberals will call a nuclear holocaust, they’ll refer to Bush as the second coming of Jesus Christ himself, leading a vast Crusade against the evils of fascist liberalism and radical Islamism and making the world safe for God-fearing Christians unto the end of time itself.
Mark my words! When Archeologists dig into the sands of time and rediscover the Bush Library, the world will know what a great leader, nay, what a great God Bush is!

May 3rd, 2007 at 9:13 pmAnd you know, I bet most of Rush’s listeners nearly shed a tear in a brief, but poignant, emotional outrush at the thought that such honors might one day be bestowed upon their most beloved leader.

May 3rd, 2007 at 9:17 pmGreat people who carved their place in history whether presidents or not, they do not need endorsement from people like Rush Limbaugh.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:18 pmspudge_boy @ 3 Vlad got a bad rep from being associated with the character Dracula. A lot of the things attributed to him were propaganda spread by his mortal enemies the Turks. VtI was no worse and some say a somewhat better ruler than the kings, princes and tyrants who were his peers.
Bush on the other hand was born into a republic a republic with a constitution that is a model for many other countries. But he is such a petty small grasping troll that he is willing to squander that to enrich himself and his friends and to aggrandize himself. No Vlad the Impaler I should say not.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:20 pmthe repubs should be happy that someone came along to replace reagan as “worst president ever”.

Now there’s something to look forward to. That boil on Rush’s butt kept him out of the war but it won’t keep him out of hell. No deferments for Cheney or Bush either.

May 3rd, 2007 at 9:29 pmEffectively, the great Rushbo is saying that he does not think George W. Bush will be remembered in our lifetime as either a great President or even a good President- more like a rotten one…so he has to justify his own monumental misjudgements, along with W’s as something that will be dealt with after we have all withered away. In short, the Ken Lay method of absolvence!
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:29 pmRush Limbaugh could be right, if those hypothetical historians are Fascist Hacks writing government mandated screeds. Hell, I think it is entirely within the realm of reason that George W. Bush would be hailed as the Father of a Post-Modern Fascist America. I truly hope the country does not go down that path. I also hope I am dead and buried before and if it happens.
Nothing to be proud of you fat fuck Limbaugh.

May 3rd, 2007 at 9:42 pmThe future is notoriously hard to predict. Limbaugh has given himself some wiggle room by placing the evaluation so far into the future. Fifty years from know when the oil runs out and the planet swelters, President Bush may be acclaimed as the person who locked up the last remaining resources for the US. While billions die, Americans may escape the worst of the effects. This is, of course, unfair and criminal. However, so was killing off the Indians and importing slaves. It is just one of a long litany of actions Americans have taken to subjugate the world.

You didn’t bother to read the article, did you? Its author is a historian, you have to read it before saying Pres Bush’s administration will not be remembered as one of the worst.
Here is a link you should click on: History News Network: Where George W. Bush Ranks as President. Read the commentary round-up at the bottom. There is already a consensus among historians: Pres Bush is one of the worst.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:47 pmGSD? Let me ask you a question. Is George Bush a:
Paleo-Conservative?
Neo-Conservative?
Cultural-Conservative?
Social-Conservative?
Liberal-Conservative?
Libertarian?
Which one? Then which conservatism do you align yourself with?

That text will be found only in the curricula of the fascist home schoolers.
“…who had a great vision for America…”
Who envisioned his own dictatorship.
“..who looked beyond our shores….”

I hear FoxNews is hiring….
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:57 pmI’m not enough of a presidential scholar to know for certain if he is the worst, but I know enough to be quite certain that he is the worst two-termer. In my mind, W’s legacy as rock bottom is solidified by how good he makes his father and Reagan look in hindsight.
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:58 pmRight after last falls election, Rush said he was going to stop carrying the water for the fools. Looks like he can’t help himself.
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:01 pmThe future is notoriously hard to predict.
Well said, RH. History has a way of healing wounds, especially when there’s no one around to recount the suffering a president’s policys may have inflicted. History has never held A. Jackson to account for ignoring the Supreme Court and slaughtering Cherokees…Remeber, millions wept at Stalin’s funeral, it’s possible W will get some kind of “pass” or that his response to 9/11 will not be seen as so reactionary 100 yrs from now…Limbaugh, however, will ALWAYS be remembered as a fat, disgusting, drug-addled windbag for the Fascist Right.

Couldn’t have said it better. I have never seen so many pissed off people then right now regarding this administration. True conservatives and liberals alike are out for blood.
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:06 pmLet me ask this question again, because these so called Bush boot-sucking idiots don’t know and don’t answer the question.
Come on trolls, is George Bush a:

May 3rd, 2007 at 10:09 pmIt was fun watching the 10 Republican presidential candidates pretend Bush isn’t destroying the Republican party. Bush is the very reason none of these 10 or any other Republican will be electable in 2008. And they can thank Karl Rove, too.
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:09 pmAs time passes and Rush makes more comments, it becomes more and more apparent that flat worms and round worms preceded Rush in the evolutionary scale.
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:10 pmI talk to a rather wide range of people sometimes, the groups include immigrants, Catholics, liberals, a few Republicans and some foreign visitors. ALL of them say that Bush is by far the worst - THE WORST - president they know of in living history. They don’t just say “bad”, as they have about other administrations, they say “WORST”.
I’m sure one or two of the early presidents were pretty awful, but the world and country - and the presidency - has changed so much in the past hundred plus years you just can’t compare. Personally I’d guess that Bush is even worse than the worst of those, but I just guessing there.
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:12 pmGregor Samsa. It was a little over the top. You got me. But, although it may not be considered one of the best, the Bush administration won’t be remembered as corrupt, illegal, illegitament (?-SIC), and frankly, as disasterous(SIC) as many here seem (and like) to believe.
Comment by paul
Paul (and Rush), even Donald Trump, hardly a flaming leftist, has called this administration the worst ever. It won’t be remembered as corrupt, eh? How many people in this administration have already resigned amid allegations of corruption, or in one case last year, shoplifting? And how about all the no-bid contracts for Halliburton, Cheney’s former company in which he still holds stocks? I could go on and on. Finally, if you realize you don’t know how to spell illegitimate, why not look it up in a dictionary? BTW, you also misspelled “disastrous.”
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:23 pmCarter will top the worst list.
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:23 pmAboveTheClouds, it’s not correct to say Bush is destroying the Republican Party, It would be more accurate to say, Bush has ALREADY destroyed the Republican Party. Let’s hope he’s stopped before he destoys the United States.
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:23 pmNot even close, Kev, not even close.
Torture?
Katrina?
Iraq?
Gaming the entire Justice system?
Illegal wire-tapping?
Endless deficits?
A level of corruption that would make the Sicilian Mafia jealous?
Jimmy Carter may have been ineffective, but he was, well, small peanuts compared to bushCo.
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:26 pmCarter was a good President and is a good Christian man.
Chimpy is neither.
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:26 pmBush might look like the worst president ever right now, but think of how bad he’ll look when all those Congression hearings and DoJ inquiries are finished with his administration. We don’t know the half of it yet. The corruption, the cronyism, the lying, the incompetence, the willful neglect, and the criminal behavior. Good grief! If you think he’s bad NOW, wait till his presidential papers go public. (Remember: he sealed the papers of Reagan and Pappy Bush, so the ‘good’ stuff goes way back to the beginning. I bet even Reagan’s halo gets knocked off when the truth comes out.)

May 3rd, 2007 at 10:30 pmI’ve never understood the vilification of Carter. It seems to be a neo-con thing. Carter actually brokered the the peace between Egypt and Israel. He inherited the nasty stagflation from Ford. Otherwise, his was a rather sound presidency. And Iran? Well, he wasn’t the one trading Arms for Hostages. He never stooped that low.
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:32 pmJT, GSD is none of those. He is a liberal.
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:40 pmArne Langsetmo and JTitor. You should probably hope that a democrat doesn’t win (at least the presidency) in ‘08. Here’s why: Bush isn’t going to pull the troops and democrats don’t really have the muscle to impeach him (or Cheney). So, when your democrat gets to the white house, will she (or he) have the political will to pull the troops out? The press loves liberals, but the problem for you is that they love chaos on their programs more than they love liberals. Anyone who contemplates the situation, regardless of how we got there, realizes there will be a civil war blood bath/genocide (a real one, not what’s going on today), when we pull the troops. Your democrat will be backed into a corner by you, but the candidate you forward will be savvy enough to forsake you and you myopic ‘pull the troops out now’ montra, rather than be saddled with a legacy of both surrender and responsiblity for the genocide that will not play well. Surrender, retreat, genocide. The Carter years would seem heroic by comparasion.
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:42 pmRush needs a Democrat in the White House–how much longer can he and Hannity and O’Reilly blame Michael Moore and the Dixie Chicks for Bush’s failed Presidency? America and the world needs the US President to be a strong and visionary leader–instead we get Karl Rove telling Bush we need a divided nation.

May 3rd, 2007 at 10:51 pmI work in the devlopment/construction industry and 75% of my friends and coworkers are Rush listening, Faux News junkies. That is only important when I see the evolution of their positions over the last four years. It is amazing how many of these hunters/fishermen/carpenters have a deep disgusr for Bush. Around the elk hunting campfire, it is not unusuak to hear these guys say that Bush needs a broadhead through the guts.
If the Repugs have lost these guys because of Bush, they are in serious trouble.
Worst president ever? I would argue that in the long run Bush may have been the best ever. Best in opening Americans’ eyes to the depth of decay of the Repugnicunts, best person ever to push people to our side of the debate and showing them how much they are being lied to by Bush and Faux News.
You go Bush!
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:52 pmYa know Paul, when I read your “political analysis” I’m stunned at what a confused, blatantly dishonest person you actually are. About the only thing you got right in your analysis is the “anal” part, which means KKKarl Rove would love you.
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:53 pmOh is this man on again?

May 3rd, 2007 at 10:55 pmPretty telling that the GOP of today (in control of the White House for 6 years and Congress 12 years) needs to look to Reagan from 25 years ago to be their “hero.” Too bad Bush is such a failure they all want to pretend he isn’t circling the drain along with the rest of the GOP.

May 3rd, 2007 at 10:55 pmSeven years of accusations of criminal activity, pending impeachment and imprisonment; that have resulted in nothing.

May 3rd, 2007 at 11:00 pm#88 Ouch, that means the next 7 will be better than him. I buy it.
May 3rd, 2007 at 11:00 pmAbsolutely the worst ever.
May 3rd, 2007 at 11:04 pmIt only took the Democratic majority 4 months to show America the GOP have nothing for America (unless war, death, and debt are considered “something”). What happened to those good old days when Denny Hastert and Tom Delay would conduct those votes to see who “supports the troops” or who “opposes gay mariage” or even who wants Terri Schiavo to get out of bed? Now that there is a bit of accountability this is Karl Rove’s chance to step into the limelight and show America he has more for them than just division, war, death, invasion of privacy, and debt. We’re waiting . . .

My guess is that the political ruling class protect themselves to some extent. They wont go hard on Bush, cuz it can happen to them sometime. I mean Clinton must still be laughing, cuz he didnt lose anything, his wife is there, he holds the contacts, he is a likeable guy…I mean, he is laughing.
You follow the names of politicians and tell me if they are “new” people: The Bush, The Kennedys, etc… pure nepotism. You rarely see a guy without some Ivy League education in the higher ranks of US politics, a working class guy. No, they just keep passing the power between them so it appears that there is something called DEMOCRACY, but that ruling class stays there no matter what.

May 3rd, 2007 at 11:15 pmI have no findings, but I’d wager Rolling Stone is concidered more credible than Rush. Hold on is this ThinkProgress or Creem magazine.

May 3rd, 2007 at 11:24 pmDo you have shit for brains? The Democrats have a majority and have had it for approximately three months. How long does it take to investigate all the crimes the Reich wingnut rubbernecks turned their heads to for the past six years? You make the the Reichwingnuts look even more stupid than the look without your idiot kind. The impeachment has to be approved by Congress and there has to be a crime brought forward. We still have a constitution, although the drunk in the White House has tried to abolish it at every turn. When they come get you and you remember that you defended them, you may understand. Fucking moron troglodytes are in the 28%ers.
#57- CONTURD trolls and rush ‘lissners don’t know; they lie somewhere in the mid- double digits in IQ and much lower in intellectual curiosity.
May 3rd, 2007 at 11:34 pmANYONE who hangs on the words of this vile, despicable junkie, hypocrite ( did i mention fat-ass limp- bough?) has some serious intellectual challenge going on upstairs.
And here I thought Rush was done carrying water for the Republican party. The real question is, if Bush was one of the worst presidents ever, would he have had to carry water in the first place? I don’t think so. The conservatives have turned desperation into genetics for the party. It’s not enough they had to work 20 years to turn Reagan into their legend…now they need to start pre-emptively spinning to turn Bush into a legend as well.
The republican party. They sure suck and everything in reality, but who cares when they can just attemp buying history. Who cares about America so long as the party becomes legend.

Tell us Paul, how many bl*w j*bs do Bush and Rove have to give every week to keep you boys that work as trolls so happy that you’re willing to make fools out of yourselves day after day.
Is that why they’ve had Jeff Gannon on the payroll and sneaking into the White house to help pass out goodies to you losers?
May 3rd, 2007 at 11:56 pmBush already has his historians lined up to write the total opposite of what is happening now, of course in his favor. The neocons are writing their version of history, of course in their favor.
Hopefully, by God’s grace, the truth shall prevail.

May 4th, 2007 at 12:14 am#110 The west (and south) has a problem with the “elite”. They would rather be represented by people like them rather than people more intelligent than them.
May 4th, 2007 at 12:15 amYa know Rush people will probably remember your hypocritical drug addiction and viagra laced trips to communist cuba longer than they will remember Presidential nitwits.
I don’t think your an idiot Rush, just not illuminated.
May 4th, 2007 at 12:26 amRepublicans like to paint them as the ones with the high morals. (I know how ridiculous it is but they do work it well.) This is no exception. What Rush is trying to imply is that we’re going through some tough times right now, but the sacrifice we’re all making (especially George and Laura) is not in vain. It’s for a great cause that will be appreciated in the long run.
May 4th, 2007 at 12:27 am#113 I don’t think people are buying it. They know nobody is making a sacrifice but those that are there and their families. Bring on the draft and see the Republicans scurry.

Elite does not describe the ruling class. They do not, and will never know, what Elite truly means. If the were truly Elite you would never know their name. Things are not as they seem.
May 4th, 2007 at 12:30 am#115 That is the problem. They think anyone with a 110+ IQ is elite. Dammit, you can’t have a beer with one of them!!!

What sacrifice has any politicos made? Making speeches on TV? What long run? This was a freedom operation in Iraq. The war on terror is a wholly different subject, do not confuse the two.

Hey, hey, slow down, commie. Cashing all those 5 figure checks is not that easy.
May 4th, 2007 at 12:38 am#117 Actually “freedom operation in Iraq” and “war on terror” are very similar. They are both BS.
May 4th, 2007 at 12:41 amJust because Rush gets the pulpit does not mean he’s got knowledge or foresight or good sense. 90% of the comments preceding have more validity.

I love this country, and one of the many things I loved about this country was freedom of speech, which in the past 5 or so years have slowly become an enigma. Oppose the adminstration, the so called Christian Right, Neocons, and Lieberman, you automatically become a traitor and hate America.
I am tried of that BS.

May 4th, 2007 at 1:43 amI love how Rush warps “conservatism” to fit whatever the current Republican leadership is doing. Conservatives were against nation-building when Clinton was ending an active civil war in the Balkans. Bush repeatedly claimed to be against nation-building when debating Gore in 2000. Fast forward to modern day, and these same so called conservatives now think anyone who is against nation-building in Iraq is a traitor and anti-American.
I might have some respect for Limbaugh if he was just a conservative instead of a complete and total shill for anything Republicans do.
May 4th, 2007 at 1:44 amNo, Juan Valdez, our constitution does not refer all people, ‘tard. It refers to all American citizens. Who gives a —- about you, if I may be so blunt? Take care of your own sh*t, I mean country, I mean, well, same thing. It’s obvious you’ve never actually read the document (hey, at least you can read English, I’ll give you that).

BTW, both of W’s grandfathers aided Nazi Germany.
May 4th, 2007 at 1:48 amAnd after spewing arrogant, vile, racist, xenophobe comments at non-American posters at ThinkProgress, the brain-dead conservative morons will look at each other and ask:
