If a Liberal says anything at all complimentary about the Right, you can bet it’s said grudgingly and must be true.

[skeeter]

If a liberal says anything at all complimentary about a non-liberal you can be sure they have an ulterior motive.

I believe they want W in the fight for 'comprehensive immigration reform'.

[Vaquero]

Heck lets send the pretender to Africa full time to hone his skills. He can visit with his homies.

[Carriage Hill]

“I believe they want W in the fight for ‘comprehensive immigration reform’.”

They’re sucking-up to W for some reason, and it isn’t because they’re nice people or think highly of him.

[Jack Hammer]

Ah, I see.

Thanks for the illumination.

Why Does The President Of South Sudan Always Wear A Cowboy Hat?

Salva Kiir Mayardit, the president of South Sudan, who recently signed a historic oil deal with his northern neighbor (and erstwhile enemy) Sudan, has at least one peculiar habit, sartorially speaking.

...

According to reports, the hat was a gift to Kiir for then-U.S. President George W. Bush when the former leader of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement visited the White House in July 2006. Kiir liked the hat so much, he reportedly bought several more and now has a closet full of them.

Kiir apparently is grateful to Bush for playing an instrumental role in the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, which ended the second Sudanese civil war and paved the way for a referendum on South Sudan’ independence -- a measure that became a reality in July 2011, two years after Bush’ term ended.

Probably, but not necessarily.

Once somebody has been trashed into uselessness, liberals consider it a noble act to say good things about that person.

[Fedupwithit]

Pimpin’ it REAL!!!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yeah, like they did with Jerry Ford.

[EQAndyBuzz]

They are bringing Bush back into the spotlight so after immigration reform passes and Obama attributes it to Bush, in 2014, when it goes to hell they can blame Bush and the Repubicans.

No one sees this one coming....

When I was channel surfing the other night PMSNBC was running a hit piece on W. I told my wife that Bush has been out of office for four years and 3 months, and these whackos are still attacking him? Just goes to prove that they need a scapegoat to deflect the critism of the utter failure of who is in there now.

I did not agree with the '03 invasion, but otherwise I think history will be kind to the 43rd president.

Good article.

I heard an interview with 41's official White House photographer the other day. He said that this was President Bush's favorite official photograph:

I think Obozo's favorite photograph will probably be something like this:

"One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong."

[Carriage Hill]

Did they do that for Nixon, Ford or Reagan? I just don’t remember it being so. They’re still trashing Nixon and Reagan, and ignoring Ford.

[funfan]

Great photo of President Bush and Barney.

The other photograph of o not so much.

[Jonty30]

Nixon is recognized, even by Liberals, for opeing up China to the West.

[jocon307]

Thanks for posting this, and thanks to Ms. Ratner for saying it.

I can only hope she doesn’t get a bucketful of hatred thrown her way; or maybe I hope she does, so she can learn what “her side” is really all about.

They’ll probably chose to ignore her comments, that seems to be their MO these days: If I cover my eyes what I don’t wish to see doesn’t exist.

[Carriage Hill]

His legacy was, is and always will be the Watergate cover-up, the continuation of the VietNam War, loss of pubic trust in gov’t, along with the EPA, OSHA, NIOSH, MSHA and other agencies which liberal adore. His opening-up China is #6 or #7 on his dance card.

[Lurker]

FU, Ratner. Why didn’t you write this when he was in office?
