Is Bush the worst President? The WaPo debates

With Bush's approval mired in the 30's, I guess this isn't too surprising, but how do you think the Bush administration feels about the WaPo turning over its B01 Outlook frontpage to historians discussing whether Bush is the worst president ever?

Move over Hoover - Douglas Brinkley

He's only the fifth worst - Michael Lind

He's the worst ever - Michael Foner

Time's on his side - Vincent Cannato

(There's even a Monday online chat.)

I find this particularly sharp because of Bush's increasing reliance on the perspective of "future historians" to defend his failures.

(As Washington sits down with its paper, will this question penetrate onto the morning shows?)
