Goldberg covers for Bush -- again

Re “Obama to Bush’s rescue,” July 1

Jonah Goldberg writes of President Bush’s policies, “Whatever the merits of those policies, it’s unlikely that historians will see them as a radical, right-wing break from the Clinton years.”

If he’s writing that history, highly unlikely.

Goldberg also says he was in the Oval Office with the president during a meeting with a small group of journalists.

Doing what? Washing the president’s feet?

I greatly enjoy watching Goldberg squirm as he struggles to put a positive face on the unmitigated disaster that is the Bush administration.

No, Jonah, it is Barack Obama to the rescue of our battered republic -- decimated militarily, economically and morally by you and your neocon buddies. No bleating by a second-rate columnist is going to change that.
