Bush Reminds Us

George W. Bush was a sorry excuse for a Republican president. His neo-con decision to stay in Afghanistan to try to build a nation in that god-forsaken place indirectly led to the debacle Joe Biden perpetrated near the end of August.

Three days ago Bush gave a speech on the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11 and further embarrassed himself while doing so. Byron York has the story, if you have the stomach for reading about it. Hat tip to RealClearPolitics for the link.

W has been mostly silent since leaving office and that has suited 95% of Republicans to a T. He should stick to that policy, making speeches was never his forte. Hindsight fails to suggest what those might have been.
