Bush to give farewell speech tonight (MORE: AP, WAPO TAKE DIGS AT BUSH’S SPEECH)
At 8 PM ET. I’ll be checking it out on Fox.
This morning I wrote about Andrew Roberts piece where he predicted how history would view President Bush on the issue of the global war on terror. It’s a piece that I’m sure has made liberals’ heads spin. Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Publishing Co CEO Richard Connor wrote a similar piece here for CQ Politics, but went over the top in his comparison of Bush to Lincoln.
Slate.com’s got a mixed bag of “farewell” coverage of our 43rd president, which you can view/read here.
NRO’s Rich Lowry recently wrote a piece titled “Ten Bush Mistakes.”
The Weekly Standard’s Fred Barnes writes here about the 10 things he thinks Bush got right.
The Anchoress has more “farewell, Bush” links.
Interesting reading, all.
Update – 7:57 PM: Politico has the full text of the President’s speech.
Fri AM Update – 8:54 AM: Not that it should surprise anyone, but the AP made sure to get in a contemptible final dig at President Bush before he leaves office. Malkin has the details. Tim Graham at Newsbusters writes here about how the WaPo’s TV critic “reviewed” Bush’s farewell address.

It was a very nice speech. I will miss him very much. – Lorica
Bush got some things wrong, but much right. How that balances depends on how Iraq turns out.
Invading was the right thing to do. Then we screwed it up, but finally got it right. Let’s hope it holds, and that Obama is wise enough to listen to Petraeus and Odierno on what to do now.
There as a post over at NRO’s The Corner not too long ago, in which Mark Steyn recalled that a few years ago some of his colleagues were complaining that “Bush should have done this” and “Bush should have done that” (not just Iraq, but on various WOT things).
Then John O’Sullivan came along and wrote (I go from memory) “What none of you realize is that Bush is as good as it was going to get.”
And he was right. Bush hasn’t done nearly enough to win the WOT, and it took him too long to get Iraq right, but it’s hard to think of any other (electable) person who would have done better.
Drudge is saying that Barack blew off last night’s speech. – Lorica
Of course he blew it off. It wasn’t all about HIM!!
