Letter: Bush certainly no George Washington
Monday, June 18, 2007 | 7:04 a.m.
George W. Bush: Is he really a president or just a White House resident? When asked about how history will judge him, he responds with flip answers such as historians are still writing about George Washington.
Well, Mr. Bush, I didn't know George Washington, but I do know that you certainly are no George Washington. As for how history will judge you, I suspect that soon you may only be referred to as George W. Bush, the 43rd occupant of the White House and the son of America's 41st president, George H.W. Bush.
The White House wasn't totally vacant for the past six and a half years. Now about that rent tab you have run up, Mr. Bush ... Excuse me, but did you say "bring it on?"
