...there's an ongoing Bush legacy project that's been meeting in the White House, really, with senior advisers, Karl Rove, Karen Hughes has been involved, current senior Bush administration advisers and they are looking at how to sort of roll out the President's legacy.
is now in full swing. The White House's whitewash efforts include a page on "The Bush Record" that links to "Highlights of Accomplishments and Results" (16MB PDF) and "100 Things Americans May Not Know About the Bush Administration Record" (300KB PDF, an expanded version of the final section of the previous document). Alexander Dresner writes at HuffPo about these documents:
To understand the full measure of this document as a reminder of President Bush's failures, I encourage you to visit the White House website and take a look. Above all, this document shows that though President Bush may be eager to get an early start in shaping his legacy, his attempts to do so have, so far, been marred by the same level of incompetence that has come to define his Administration these past eight years.
Over at Daily Kos, occams hatchet observes snarkily that attempts to rehabilitate Bush's record are as inane as claims that the 0-16 Detroit Lions actually had a perfect season en route to the Super Bowl.
