Dallas’ own former President George W. Bush is celebrating his 70th birthday today by off-road biking (because I don’t think there are any actual mountains) down in Crawford with veterans.
Let’s hope nobody bought him a copy a the new biography of him by Jean Edward Smith. Says the Times:
Mr. Smith leaves no mystery where he stands on Mr. Bush’s place in history. The first sentence of his book: “Rarely in the history of the United States has the nation been so ill-served as during the presidency of George W. Bush.”
The last: “Whether George W. Bush was the worst president in American history will be long debated, but his decision to invade Iraq is easily the worst foreign policy decision ever made by an American president.”
