I often forget that the Daily Beast even exists, but then every once in a while, they publish something amazing like this: As America braces itself for George W. Bush's memoir, Bryan Curtis takes a look back at A Charge Kept, the low-selling Bush memoir that was published on January 20, 2009.
It wonât surprise you to learn that Bushâs list of Katrina accomplishments begins well after the disaster. Or that Osama bin Laden is portrayed as weakened and in hiding. But in other cases Bush takes an interesting tack. The book says that even in failure, he âlaid the groundworkâ for future presidents. So if Bush himself could not say âmission accomplishedâ on Social Security reform, a future POTUS would surely fly the banner. Bush is said to have âlaid the foundation for Americaâs ultimate victoryâ in the War on Terror, which, given the situation in Afghanistan these days, would be news to the Obama administration.
The whole piece, including the horrifying sentence: âThe Bush resurgence...is happening sooner than any of us would have imagined,â can be found over here.
