Bush's legacy

Bush has been the subject of many headlines. These memories of Bush have been carefully collected by Teresa Neilson Hayden and show the breadth of Bush's legacy and shame.
The Bush administration is ending. If Bush & Co. didn’t entirely wreck the place, it was for no lack of trying. George himself achieved astonishing depths of failure. His most notable achievements were all unintentional, and he still doesn’t know what they were.

Oh yeah, and the headlines are from The Onion (America's Finest News Source)...

January 26, 2000: Bush Reaches Out To Hispanic Community With Generous Tip.
August 1, 2001: Bush Finds Error In Fermilab Calculations.
August 22, 2001: Bush Vows To Wipe Out Prescription-Drug Addiction Among Seniors.
