George W. Bush is probably the happiest man in Washington, or even the country. For eight years he has been subjected to what Christopher Marshall described as “The maligant air of calumny has taken possession of almost all ranks and societies of people in this place”.
He probably will be relieved of most of it, and for the residue, “…he can wait patiently until the spring of the imagination of the wicked is dried up, and until truth dissipates the mists of mendacity.” (Philippe Bunau-Varilla)
I won’t live to see it, but I believe that when historians write the real history of GWB in 40 or 50 years, he will be recognized as one of America’s great presidents.
