Drudge Report ^ | 04-18-06 | WestVirginiaRebel

[WestVirginiaRebel]

"George W. Bush's presidency appears headed for colossal historical disgrace."

So declares ROLLING STONE magazine in a planned cover story, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

"The Worst President in History?" streets Friday.

Developing...

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Rolling Stone Magazine is headed for colossal irrelevance. So declares WestVirginiaRevel. Developing...

[Michael Goldsberry]

Try Carter.

[cmsgop]

How SHOCKING!!!

Next Graydon Carter will write yet another Scathing Op-Ed in Vanity Fair and Neil Young will write a Anti-Bush Album!

[Political Junkie Too]

And TIME magazine is pushing Kennedy and Durbin as two of the Top 5 Senators, too!

-PJ

[Rocko]

Rolling Stone Magazine is headed for colossal irrelevance.

Didn't that happen at least thirty years ago?

[muir_redwoods]

"ROLLING STONE MAG: BUSH 'WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY?"

And Jan Wenner (the editor of RS who left his wife and kids when he "came out" a few years ago) is the worst father in history.

[Russ]

Drudge is running on empty. Hard up for something to write...

[Rocko]

Makes me want to start a subscription so I can cancel it....

[ZULU]

Now THAT's an endorsement!!!

Anybody "Rolling Stone Magazine" doesn't like has GOT to be good!!!

[zarf]

The more he's attacked the bigger in historical stature he will stand.

Keep it comin'.

[Viking2002]

While I agree that Posterity will show that Bush is no Reagan, and I'd like to hand him his ass over a few issues ('guest' invader program, etc.), trying to paint him as The Worst President In History over the likes of Karter and Klinton is like saying a hangnail is worse than brain cancer.

Liberals suck wind.

[humblegunner]

Hard up for something to write

More like copy-and-paste.

[angcat]

What a disgrace, did you see the picture?

[gore_sux]

Rolling Stone bashing Bush?

YAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNN!!

[zert_28]

I stopped reading Rolling Stoned Magazine in 1975. I'm surprised they are still in business.

[SquirrelKing]

Rolling Stone? That rag has gone to Hell since P.J. O' Rourke left. It's just glossy eye candy for bellybutton-ring sporting worshippers of computerized megastar mediaculture that is supposed to pass for music and entertainment.

And book reviews.

[Old_Mil]

The worst President in History would be Jimmy Carter.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Rolling Stone carries ads for AARP. Says something...

[Rocko]

What a disgrace, did you see the picture?

A bigger disgrace would have been their endorsement.

[durasell]

WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON WAS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY!

[higgmeister]

ROLLING STONE MAG: BUSH 'WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY?'

OF COURSE!

He can't even play the Saxophone!

[popdonnelly]

Rolling Stone really knows its demographic. Whining adolescents.

[angcat]

Good Point.

[Logophile]

What would anybody at Rolling Stone know about history?

[Petronski]

[clawrence3]

We FINALLY agree on something ; )

[Types_with_Fist]

WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON WAS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY!

He was president for only a month.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

You gotta be kidding me! Where were the Rolling Stoned editors during the Carter Presidency?

[carlr]

I haven`t seen a Rolling Stone in ages.Do they accept rap as some form of music?

If they do than I guess why should anyone care what they think about politics.

[toddlintown]

Rolling Stone Magazine

Still Relevant? I think not.

[motzman]

While I agree that Posterity will show that Bush is no Reagan, and I'd like to hand him his ass over a few issues ('guest' invader program, etc.),

He'll be regarded as better than Reagan by those who matter.

Who was it that granted Amnesty to illegals back in '86?

Who was it that cut and ran from Beirut?

Who was it that raised taxes?

Who was it that ratcheted up the insane War on (some) Drugs?

Who was it that let employers force you to pee on demand?

I liked Reagan, but he made mistakes, too. Some really bad mistakes.

The best way to judge the effectiveness of any Republican President is to ask the question: "How much do liberals hate him?"

Nixon and Reagan are slugging it out for second place.

ROLLING STONE MAG:

WORST TABLOID/MAGAZINE/PROPAGANDA SHEET IN HISTORY

[Michael.SF.]

I use to think it was carter, then Clinton, but lately I have come to the conclusion (influenced strongly by the book FDR's Folly) that the worse President in history was FDR, during his first two terms.

His gross negligence regarding the economy and his status as President were salvaged only by War.

[Sabatier]

"The worst President in History would be Jimmy Carter."


Absolutely. Beyond a doubt. Under his economy Americans really did work for peanuts.

[jdm]

There's no connecting beam for the "H" in "Bush." Looks like "II" instead of "H."

Something subliminal? Not sure.

[Rockitz]

Here's another vote for Jimmuh.

[GianniV]

1977-1981 were horrible years. Everybody knows Carter was awful.

[D.P.Roberts]

Hey, at least he didn't attack half of the country.

[operation clinton cleanup]

And I suppose Al "salami" gore was the greatest President not selected.

[Michael Barnes]

good catch. Might just be the graphic, but somehow I doubt it. Also, Pearl Jam is right up there..If you recall, not too long ago Eddie Veder (sp?) while on tour had head size pictures of the Presidents portrait and he was stompping on it on stage..This rag knows exactly what it is doing. Keeping circulation going by feeding the hate of the leftist idiots.

[jdm]

"Might just be the graphic, but somehow I doubt it."

Me too. There is one other faded "H" on the cover but at least some of connecting beam is visible. In the "H" for "Bush" it's not visible to my eye.

This is the only thing I can think of:

BUS I(H)I = (I)raq
BUS I(H)I = (I)ran

[clawrence3]

Thanks for the cover - anyone know who the "leading historian" is?

[jdm]

Or maybe "II" is for 9/11. Or for the WTC towers.

Dunno.

[boomop1]

I've never read it, and don't care.

[Michael Barnes]

My best guess? ANYONE that agrees with RS and their base of subscribers.

It's all laughable anyway..how can a historian evaluate anything while President Bush is STILL in office?

[clawrence3]

Actually, I see that Professor Wilentz may be the historian (not the reporter) from Princeton (and Contributing Editor
The New Republic 1994 - current): http://www.princeton.edu/pr/news/98/q4/wilentz-bio.htm

Should be an interesting read.

[Hand em their arse]

"George W. Bush's presidency appears headed for colossal historical disgrace."

Well then dammit, he lost my vote in the next election!!!!

[TexasTransplant]

Has anyone even bought that rag since 1974?

Soros can have it, it suits him.

TT

[Ombudsman]

Well, well...he replaces Ronald Reagan.
Great company.

Anyone have any back issues from The Reagan Years?

[Rocko]

Thanks for the cover - anyone know who the "leading historian" is?

Michael Moore?
