More Kicking George while he’s down

I suspect even David is in denial as to how profoundly wrecked the American brand was after eight years of mounting debt, a bubble economy, withdrawal from the Geneva Conventions, denial of climate change, a pre-emptive war waged on false pretenses, and a president who was simply both out of his depth and wantonly reckless. We had the Republican equivalent of a two-term Carter presidency. Even America's best friends had been alienated and appalled.

Andrew Sullivan addressing Comrade David Frum’s belief that anti-Bush sentiment in Europe really was not that deep.

The Republican equivalent of a two-term Carter presidency line describing the 8 long brutal years of the Bush Administration has really got to hurt in Republican circles.

Let’s hope nobody forwards this zinger to George Junior. Now George Bush is viewed as twice as bad a Carter. You know what this means of course? Everyone to voted to elect George Junior TWICE are laughing stocks now as well.
