The Bush legacy should be remembered as a grand and failed experiment of what happens when conservatives are in complete control of the government.

Conservative ideology rails against government, argues that government is the problem, not the solution. So when a government run by conservatives is faced with the most important responsibility any government has - to protect its citizens - is it any wonder you wind up with a tragedy of epic proportions like Katrina?

For helping drive a stake in the heart of conservative governance for years to come, Bush actually deserves all the credit and thanks in the world.
