OBESSION WITH HIS LEGACY... BUSH IS PATHETIC
Sat Jul 07, 2007 at 03:56:05 PM PDT
Bush, so obsessed with his "legacy", he's having tea parties to schmooze "One at a time or in small groups, he summons leading authors, historians, philosophers and theologians to the White House to join him in the search. Over sodas and sparkling water, he asks his questions: What is the nature of good and evil in the post-Sept. 11 world? What lessons does history have for a president facing the turmoil I'm facing? How will history judge what we've done? Why does the rest of the world seem to hate America? Or is it just me they hate?" (article By Peter Baker, Washington Post Staff Writer, Monday, July 2, 2007; A01).

Peter Baker, he's just a Post staff writer. I'd let this go, but it's a featured article in Tegan Goddard's politicalwire.

He wrote:
"Bush's opening message since the election has been one of conciliation, in firing Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, as many critics had urged, and in reaching out to incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.). "Let's let the election go," White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove said in a recent interview. "Let's say, 'Okay, where are some places where we can work together?' " "
Washington Post Reporter Tells the Truth (once)

Today,
Washington Post reporter Peter Baker was the answer-man on the
Post Political Hour, a one hour forum to take readers questions on the "latest buzz in politics." While he had several interesting comments...check that, rationalizations...something he said near the end of the hour struck me simply because it was something we've all known for a long time. I was just surprised to see someone at the paper admitting it:
Peter Baker: I don't think the news media helps Republicans diffuse their problems, I think it lets them explain their point of view on them, just as we also explain the point of view of the critics who disagree. I don't think there's been any shortage in our paper at least of stories quoting people disagreeing with President Bush...
Did you catch that? They let the GOP explain their position, but the Post explains our positions for us. An inadvertent moment of truthiness...even so, he didn't answer the question.
