Can't say as I "enjoyed" that. It was pretty poignant. I did however, "Digg" it. Also, I "Buzz"ed it about.

Whenever I read about how they try and spin the truth about Bush....that Seinfeld term Bizarro World always comes to mind. I remember sitting there for the past 8 years wondering how more than half this country fell for his bs... it felt like some sort of alternate reality. However, Bizarro does not even begin to accurately capture the heinous incompetence
Bob, thanks for always writing so truthfully...and for managing to coat it with some well needed humor.

Great job.

I apologize for the duplicate!! My bad.

LK,

Bizarro was not a Seinfeld term - it's from the Superman comics (which Seinfeld was obsessed with).

^^ Russian spam! Mmmm.

Bob, spot on as usual.

Bush's post 9/11 mythology had nothing to do with his actions, and everything to do with the good will of the American people (and the world) to put aside differences and say "we believe in you, and we stand with you." He , almost immediately, squandered that with the march to war in Iraq and his policies that have spread the hatred towards us like wildfire.

Contrast that with sexual harasser Bill O'Reilly who is basically praying for an attack for which to blame Obama--disgusting. So sad--so dangerous.

C'mon man you really can't believe the BS are spouting, don't you ever red anything but CNN have you ever had a thought based on fact and not on politicaly correct BS you seem to bs able to artriculate yourself so why not apply some brain power to yor rethetoric

Two words about that article, Bob: "Goddam Awesome".

I remember my feelings on September 11 quite clearly. I felt that it was a shame at a time like this that we had B*sh as "president". He clearly was no Lincoln or FDR. But I also thought, he may not be much of a president, but he's the only one we've got.

So while I never had much confidence in him, I approved the (few) things he did right, while remaining skeptical about many other things.

I agree with you: September 11 could have been an opportunity to unite the country and rally the world's goodwill. It was squandered. Instead of the looking at the common good, they used that awful crime to profit politically and economically.

Are you really serious? It is monumentally foolish to believe that Al Gore would have acted in the same way as President Bush on September 11th. Al Gore would have done nothing in Afghanistan. He would have made a few speeches, asked the United Nations for some sanctions, and then effectively handed the case to the Justice Department for tracking down terrorist. That's it.

and exactly what have we accomplished in Afghanistan so far? Did we capture Bin Laden? Has the Taliban been defeated or at least contained? Has the drug trade been impeded? I didnt think so.

thanks for another spot-on article bob.
i think the most important aspect of this story is the way the media,y'know the "liberal media",is swallowing whole whats so arrogantly and transparently being peddled by the greasy,shameful wingnuts behing the bush legacy project.theyre all so busy creaming their collective shorts over karl rove and his brilliance,that theyre blind to their own level of complicency in this tragic rewriting of history occuring as we speak right before our eyes.
i just read glenn greenwalds terrific book "great american hypocrites",where he thoroughly breaks down and blows to bits the whole "liberal media" myth.thanks for that recommendation bob.

You offer volumes of criticism of what was done, and nary an idea of what you suggest should have been done. You paint "pie in the sky" and "puppy dog dreams" about compassion and a new world, blah, blah. What world do you live in? You can slink around academia-land throwing darts at the real players in the world all you want. But it doesn't change the fact that without those of us who've stood up against those that have, and would do us harm (regardless of any measure of compassion that you'd like to send their way) you'd continue to get swirlied in the boy's room and have your lunch money stolen; just as you've always suffered. As Teddy R might imply, if you're not going to enter the arena, stop giving advice to those who are playing the game. The wolf is still at the door. Oh, by the way, Abraham Lincoln responded by suspending habeas corpus and sending troops to Manassas; FDR sent Jimmy Doolittle to Tokyo and mobilzed the nation. Bush sent SF and the 101st and took Kandahar in 8 weeks. Last time I checked, Osama and Omar weren't holding shuras at Omar's house, it's currently occupied by OTHERS. They're not captured or dead, but they know that PRED's watching and waiting to send them to meet Saddam.

It is of vital importance to prevent this "legacy good-will tour" and the passage of time from painting this presidency (and in particular Bush's response to 911) from being painted with the brush of rosy colors. The man not only squandered the immediate coming together of this country in a solidarity not seen since Pearl Harbor... he and his cronies flat-out exploited it. This brilliant post, Mr. Cesca, is one solid brick in that wall of prevention. Where "the legacy tour" is offering a series of pastel paintings you've developed a crystal clear photograph.

You little prick. You piss on Bush but what did your vaunted Democrat Congressmen do about the attack on 9/11? They sang America the Beautiful, and badly at that. If that's what you call a good response to attack, then you are a worthless lump of pond scum. Someday I hope this country will be rid of you gutless little pukes.

hey j.e. kitchell - truth hurts, eh?

and name calling is very immature.

I applaud this effort to hold onto the truth, reminding how insidious revisionist accounts can eventually lead to the grotesque lie that Bush was capable or even principled in his handling of so many disasters that happened--or which he caused--during his presidency. This period will go down as one of the darkest of times for American democracy and prestige, and the responsibility for that falls squarely at the feet of Bush and Cheney but also on the tens of millions of people who elected that lying, conniving team. My only regrets about this blog of Mr. Cesca's: where was the reference to Mr. Bush's poignant exhortation to Americans to go shopping (as a way of dealing with the 9/11 attack)? What a HUGE omission!

The first big clue of the incompetency of President Bush, which was not in the article, came the morning of 9/11. Before going into an elementary school in Florida, President Bush already new the first plane had struck a twin tower in NYC, but went ahead to read a story to any elementary class. While reading a book with the elementary class, holding the book upside down, President Bush was informed by one of his aides, that a second plane had struck the other tower. What did President Bush do, he sat there with the dumbest look on his face for 7 minutes. This was the first big clue we were in trouble with President Bush as our leader.

Mr. Cesca,

I just read your piece on President Bush's performance immediately after the 9/11 attacks.

Two thoughts: One. Your life appears to sustained by a steady diet of political vomit with the subsequent excretion of venom.

Two. Your very existence is inconsequential to the continuity of mankind!

Hey cminri,
It's easy to be glib and clueless when you hide behind a nom de plume. Grow up, come out of mommy's basement and see the real world. I can't wait for the mid-terms and throw a bucket-load of lefties out of office.
