Kindness??

Here's an amazing headline:  "Jeb Bush: 'History will be kind to my brother'" 

 

Perhaps, but only in the sense that we're kind to a new puppy which s***s on the rug because it's got limited intelligence and just doesn't know any better. In like manner, history may be gentle with this C minus (yes, really, that was his GPA at Yale) student whose family name and lots of money bought a Governor's mansion and the White House for him. A failure in every endeavor he ever attempted (excluding the avoidance of completing his military obligation and jail time on a Cocaine rap and several DUIs) He failed yet again as President. War with Iraq as a personal vendetta is the big highlight, although his failed attempt (thank God) to privatize Social Security would certainly have been disastrous when financial markets failed shortly thereafter. His failure to take seriously the Terrorism intel brief prepared for him by the Clinton NSA staff is yet another epic fail. Other than Ronald Reagan and Warren Harding, "W" may deserve to go down as the  President of the 20th century least able to think for himself. What else would we expect from the former governor of a state whose official state board of education mission statement contains the stated aim of "opposing the teaching of critical thinking skills?"
