I agree with Nick Kristof -- George W. Bush would be a pretty good president if he reversed, um, all of his ideas about public policy and started governing like a liberal Democrat. I'm not sure that really would "rescue" his "legacy" since even the best possible policies simply can't undue the damage caused by the invasion of Iraq (or, say, having invading Afghanistan and failed to achieve any of our major objectives there) in two years' time.

He got what he wanted. He got the man who tried to kill his daddy.

Seriously, that's all there is to it.

OT: Matt's predictions for 2006.

Any guesses as to what 2007 will bring?

How many of Matt's '06 predictions panned out? I don't recall any Liberal minority govts popping up in Canada.

So, you and Kristoff want Bush to finally crack down on illegal immigration instead of encouraging it?

Those are not liberal democratic goals by any stretch of the imagination. They are Clintonesque centrist DLC type goals. That you would characterize them as liberal says a lot about you.
