Two prominent women in the George W. Bush administration are taking issue with critics who say his eight years in the White House have been a failure.

"Generations are going to start to thank this president for what he's done," said Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.

Speaking to FOX News First Lady Laura Bush says history will judge, but that her husband has kept America safe after 9-11

1. She's right...

"Thank you, pResident Bush, for making possible The Reign of The Insectoids!"

[CatWoman]

17. "I, for one, welcome our new * overlords"

:)

[Warpy]

2. You can change anything about a person but a belief system

and the sillier and more contrary to fact that belief system is, the more tenaciously they'll cling to it.

They'll be waiting for the accolades on their death beds, surprised that they haven't yet arrived.

[xxqqqzme]

3. I think her meds need adjusting.

Thank him for what he's done?

What one constructive, positive ANYthing has he done?

[JitterbugPerfume]

4. neocons

make their own "reality", this is one of their core beliefs.
Of course it isn't necessarily everyone else's reality but in the neocon reality everyone else is wrong!

[KansDem]

5. Is this the new GOP talking point?

Didn't Karl Rove say something similar today?

[Enrique]

10. yes it is

Cheney and Bolton also got the memo, along with countless RW radio commentators.

[gratuitous]

6. Yeah, let's wait for those future generations

No sense rushing to judgment while the damage Bush did lingers. Buncha malcontents and ingrates anyway. None of you appreciate all the death, mayhem and carnage wrought by Bush, but folks in the future will!

The same could be said, I suppose, for General Tojo of Japan. If he hadn't lit the fuse on U.S. entry into World War II, Japan might have remained an imperial dynastic nation, ruled by a man regarded as semi-divine. Instead, they now have a parliamentary system that is a full participant in world affairs, universally acknowledged as one of the good guys on the planet. Thank you very much, General Tojo. And all that unpleasantness in China and at Pearl Harbor and so on and so forth is completely forgotten as we bask in the glow of modern day Japan.

Feh.

7. She may be right...

...that future generations will thank him, but wrong about why. If we manage to dig ourselves out of all the harm Bush and his cronies have wrought, future generations may thank him for finally pulling the curtain back on the agenda of the rich and the super-rich, on the neocon warmongers, and on the moral, intellectual and indeed financial bankruptcy of unfettered, unregulated capitalism.

8. This from a woman...

...who a) once had an oil tanker named after her and b) accidentally called Bush her husband, at a dinner party. Her compass has been out of whack for many, many years.

[LynnTheDem]

9. Want to bet your shoe collection on that, condi?

What the bush regime -you included- has done is to "ignite a fuse in this region that we will rue the day we ever started."

Total fuck-up in every possible way. That is what generations of the world will remember george w. bush -and you- for.

[malaise]

11. Her husband was in charge during 9/11

Her husband is a LIAR

Her husband is a WAR CRIMINAL

Her husband is the worst president IN HISTORY

[zbdent]

12. well, if "conservative" ideals of public education prevail,

ignorance will flourish to levels unseen in centuries ...

[harun]

13. Maybe... for destroying the Republican party.

[JuniperLea]

14. Lying to the bitter end...

So classy, Condi... need I insert the sarcasm emoticon here? No, I think not.

[Harry Monroe]

15. "Generations will curse this president for what he's done"

...would be a more apt quote.

[baby_mouse]

16. hm.

Probably not.

[Javaman]

18. Yeah, as in, "thanks a lot, scumbag". nt

[eowyn_of_rohan]

19. Only if the truth is altered for the history books

[Stuart G]

20. Say, your son died as a result, or perhaps a good friend.

How long will it take to thank MR.BUSH FOR HIS DEATH?...
..OH.."GENERATIONS ARE GOING TO START TO THANK THIS PRESIDENT FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE."

sure, and that means that day is night, and good is evil..or maybe death is birth?

[Stuart G]

21. And when will the Iraqi people thank Mr. Bush? never.
