Professor Howley correctly identifies the Bush legacy as painful and lasting. The only reason Bush's legacy tour is not given the universal derision and scorn it deserves is because the right wing fawning corporate media that supported the war and the Bush/Cheney regime was complicit and gave him a traitorous degree of uncritical press coverage.

Strong and biting commentary on both the Bush legacy and the glaring failures of mainstream media to question, challenge, follow up, and accurately portray the administration's conflicting and questionable actions over the last eight years.

It's a good opinion piece though partisans of the Bush camp will find it slanted, though the real target is the US mainstream media, and in that sense, the Bush "legacy Campaign" is really the context for the criticism not only of Bush but of the general subservience and highly uncritical handling of the Bush presidency by the mainstream media.
