Why?
Because Bush put it all on the line for the immigration bill and failed. Big time.
As Josh Marshall says accompanying this video from Mister Bush's post-mortem on his last shot:
Have you ever seen such a sad-sack president?
Unless something flips like crazy in the next year and a half, Mister Bush can kiss any legacy (other than murder, torture, and the debilitation of America's image in the world) goodbye. This is beyond lame-duck.
And what does the rest of the Republican Party have to offer? Nothing but obstructionism, of which they are perversely proud. When you read about public disapproval of Congress, did a little deeper to understand that it's the Republicans in Congress whom the public most disapproves of.
The GOP Presidential candidates don't even bother debating issues that actually matter to most Americans, like health care or real energy independence or restoring the U.S. to world greatness. And why would they? Their leading candidates are better known for torturing dogs. With character like that, Mitt Romney shouldn't be running for President, he should be running for Warden of Abu Ghraib!
Maybe Mister Bush's legacy will be a partial border fence that actually requires a stretch rebuild at a cost of million$ due to veering comically into the very country it is trying to block. Maybe it will be a new record in Friday night resignations by guilty-as-sin Justice Department officials, leaving no one but Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to turn out the lights.
In a devastating piece of amateur political agitprop, there's this "Waterloo" video that in provides a chilling compendium of the cast of characters in Mister Bush's awesome loserdom.
Wait, I can think of one last domestic agenda item to set Mister Bush apart in creating his legacy. Bubbling under maybe more powerfully than I have previously imagined...and you can help:
Impeachment.
