There's legacy and legacy

On or about last January, W's handlers and spokesdopes were making noises about his legacy, as it seems like every president seems to do when the clock is running out. Then someone told him it would be a good idea to bring about peace among Israel and its neighbors, so he ran that up the flagpole and gave it about as much attention and credibility as his pledges to send a manned operation to Mars and develop a hydrogen car.

Meanwhile, he is working on his real legacy -- frantically spurring the minions at the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to unwrite every environmental protection they can get their hands on. It seems like a good time for a land grab with the price of gasoline hovering around $4 ($4.98) to stamp out the ecology, mercy, mercy, me, and make private what was once public. After all anything that can't be bought and sold is, by Republigooblican definition, ugly and stoopid.

Without question, George W. Bush will be remembered in history as one of America's presidents.
