George W. Bush his legacy fades every day

Bush staffers Tony Snow, Dana M. Perino, Dan Bartlett, Karl Rove and Nicolle Wallace, from left, last year. All but Perino have left the White House.


No one with any sense is feelin' George W. Bush anymore. (based on today's Washington Post report). It would be great if he and his Vice President would do the American people a favor and just resign.
