Prop it 59 2 drops Drop it

The threat of 9/11 ignored. The threat of Iraq hyped and manipulated. Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib. Hurricane Katrina. The shredding of civil liberties. The rise of Iran. Global warming. Economic disaster. How did one two-term presidency go so wrong? A sweeping draft of history—distilled from scores of interviews—offers fresh insight into the roles of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and other key players.

    vanity fair deserves a few new subscriptions from this one article. it's amazing/depressing in how it proves, again, the vapidity of both congress and the corporate press for the past eight years.

        The drug addled, alcohol fueled, perverted little cretin from Crawford has permanently and forever befouled, besmirched, disgraced and bastardized the highest office of our land.

        Americans will have to live with this rotten little turd's legacy of lies, corruption, wars, death, greed, war crimes, economic disaster, and moral and fiscal bankruptcy forever.

        Thinking of a portrait of that smirking chimp face hanging in the same hall with decent, honorable presidents makes me puke.

          All of this oral history needs to be added to the case to impeach, try, convict, and ......

            Very nice piece of work.
            It didn't miss a trick.
            Maybe just a little lacking in passion! but that's understandable in this kind of presentation.

              I can't believe that no one has posted anything here about how all that is just "lies" and how some 'rag' like Vanity Fair is just another "liberal" media mouthpiece that hates Bush and the Republicans.

              Anyone that can't or won't accept that the Bush administration has seriously damaged this country, its laws, its freedoms, and the rule of law (you know, that term that Republicans LOVED to use when they were trying to get Clinton) is either seriously deficient in common sense, totally brainwashed by right-wing and fundamentalist "spin", or they can't accept that they supported someone who turned out to be so wrong and so bad so they keep their blinders on to justify that support.

                Just listen to the liberals have orgasms over this very biased piece from a very biased organization.

                You people are silly.
