Who knew I could agree on the time of day with the so-called 'father' of modern conservativism?
They say Bush isn’t a true conservative, that may be, but it’s too late now. For all intents and purposes, 'conservative' means George W. Screw-Up. If ever the term had any merit, it's gone now. Thanks, Bushie!
'True' conservatives will just have to get used to it.
And just in time for "liberal" to make a comeback.
"If you had a European prime minister who experienced what we've experienced it would be expected that he would retire or resign." --William F. Buckley
"Asked what President Bush's foreign policy legacy will be to his successor, Buckley says "There will be no legacy for Mr. Bush. I don't believe his successor would re-enunciate the words he used in his second inaugural address because they were too ambitious. So therefore I think his legacy is indecipherable."
At 81, Mr. Buckley still continues to contribute a regular column to the National Review, the magazine he started 51 years ago."
On a related note, since the world is falling apart, it must be about time for The Decider to take his vacation. But before he does, he's planning to have a little pre vacation fun by spending time with some American Idol finalists. Not that anyone believes the Boy King is in charge of anything more complicated than clearing brush.
