Is the Mainstream Media Finally Coming Around?

Who knew lighting a fireplace was so dangerous? Anyway.....

The Washington Post has been hosting a discussion on where George Bush ranks among America's Presidents. This conversation is surely premature, but certainly revealing. Vince Cannato says that it's too soon to tell. Michael Lind argues Bush is the 5th worst. David Greenberg claims he's 2nd to last behind Nixon. Douglas Brinkley thinks Bush has a chance to pass Hoover and finally reach bottom. Eric Foner goes all the way and ranks Bush dead last.

It's nice to see the Post at least consider the possibility that the Dear Leader is a disaster. But all I have to say is, where have they been? Sean Wilentz claimed that Bush was the worst President in U.S. history in April. Heck, I said it way back in November of 2004, anticipating the arguments of Wilentz and Foner.

Way to jump on the bandwagon guys!
