George H. W. Bush and "Voodoo Economics"
Sam Houston State University historian, writing on the Forbes web site, has a very odd blog post this morning. He criticizes MIT Economist Simon Johnson for attributing the term "voodoo economics" to George H.W. Bush. Domitrovic calls it a "myth" that the elder Bush ever uttered those words. "You'd think there'd be a scrap of evidence dating from 1980 in support of this claim. In fact there is none," he says. Perhaps down in Texas they don't have access to the Los Angeles Times. If one goes to t...

"There are few worse condemnations of an executive"
Tigerhawk is wrapping up George Bush's Decision Points and has put up a revealing post detailing one of the book's key moments: The chapter on Katrina not surprisingly contains no small measure of regret, but it is uncharacteristically savage in its depiction of Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco and Mayor Ray Nagin: "Who's in charge of security in New Orleans?" I asked. My question silenced the raucous discussion in the Air Force One conference room on Friday, September 2, 2005. "The governo...

Bush on Bush
Michael Kinsley has a must-read review of former President George W. Bush's memoir, Decision Points. "It would be nice to say that Bush grew in office -- like Henry V, the wastrel youth and son of a famous father to whom he was often compared. But judging from this book, it didn't happen.
