What did Newsweak have to say when Slick Willie lost the Senate & the House in 1994?

[BibChr]

...the amount of time that elapsed between Pearl Harbor and VJ Day

...Which is a germane benchmark because, on VJ Day, everything was all finished and tidied up and finalized, and all American troops went home?

If VJ day is the terminus a quo, perhaps the better analogy would be the day Saddam was captured? What's the timeline comparison in that case? Hm, can't use that. It would make W look too good.

As the war has gone badly and the years have ticked by—2003, 2004, 2005 and now much of 2006—the senior President Bush, the man who managed to capture just 37 percent of the vote in 1992, has grown in stature. Raising taxes and capping domestic spending in 1990, refusing to exceed the United Nations mandate after expelling Saddam from Kuwait, and deftly managing the end of the cold war and the reunification of Germany loom ever larger.

Of course Newsweak neglects to neglect they led the pack of those lambasting GHWB for these very things.
