So Rove has been directing a Bush Legacy Project and today we learn via Think Progress that the White House has sent out a 2 page memo with the talking points on the “unalloyed success” of the Bush presidency.
I tackled a Bush Legacy Project almost 2 years ago with the following video and the thought that the Bush Legacy will be seen in 2 cities–New Orleans and Baghdad.
I still stand by that today. Though I would encourage you to also watch a video accompanyingthis Stars and Stripes story on a helicopter medevac platoon operating in Afghanistan. It is their job to go into landing zones and bring out the wounded. Towards the end of the video, (~ 7:00 minute mark) one medic talks of the need to leave the dead body of a soldier behind and though he was 99.5% certain that the soldier was dead, in the back of his mind was a sliver of… what if?
Just one of so very many ‘what ifs’ behind the Bush Legacy.
Good stuff scout, thanks for doing the heavy lifting.
can’t spackle that turd pile. way to many videos to destroy.
Damn, scout. That’s tough stuff–the Stars and Stripes article in particular. Very hard to watch.
BTW, on a totally off-topic point, Jon Stewart just eviscerated Mike Huckabee on the topic of gay marriage. Fucking took him apart. Totally. Completely. Utterly. I love Jon Stewart.
because the rite is wrong again.
