Spencer Ackermann, writing about a new Condi Rice biography has this to say about Bush:
Underestimated. It’s true that Bush has been consistently regarded as being a poor human being for much of his life. But after two unwon wars, a drowned city, a collapsing econo — oh, just go down the list, it feels so tired just rehashing all this — you kind of have to say he was estimated rather accurately.
Yeah, that’s about right.
