The Washington Times Sells George W. Bush Legacy Junk

By Sam Dealey, Thomas Jefferson Street blog

The following E-mail, appropriately enough, showed up in my junk box today:

Dear friend of The Washington Times,

Here's your chance to be one of the very first to own "W, The Legacy of George W. Bush" the compelling coffee table styled book about an extraordinary president in turbulent times. "W" is packed with gripping pictures and stories all beautifully presented in this historical keepsake presentation of all eight years of the Presidency of George W. Bush.

If conservatives are looking for a keepsake book on the Bush years, my suggestion is to visit the Government Printing Office for a copy of the federal budget. Far better than a book for a coffee table, after eight years of W., the budget can actually be used as a coffee table.

The Washington Times also is offering the President Bush Commemorative Cigar. Knowing Times readers as I do, my hunch is that if it were renamed after Clinton, it would fly off the shelves.
