Dan Froomkin - Bush's Death Wish - washingtonpost.com: "'In a speech last week, Mr. Bush said the Middle East is a freer, more hopeful place today than when he took office in 2001. He said the threat from terrorist groups like al Qaeda has been curtailed and that Iran faces greater pressure from the international community than ever before. Mr. Bush described his Mideast policies as 'ambitious in vision, bold in action and firm in purpose.' . . .
'Mr. Bush's vision may have been ambitious and his plan bold, but history will record that he utterly failed to meet those objectives. His administration emboldened America's enemies, put Israel's security at greater risk, mired the U.S. military in an endless occupation and diminished America's prestige around the globe. No pixie dust can change that reality.'"

Pixie dust is exactly what the talking heads are sprinkling. The right wing blogosphere, talk radio and Fox "News" all have their talking points and for the next four weeks that is all they will do...sprinkle pixie dust when in fact it is poo. I have to make a slight correction here though, Rush and the boys will be sticking ol' Blagoevich as close to Obama as possible.
