Mr. Bush's Gentlemanly GoodbyeTHE past few weeks have been a time to reflect on the legacy of the
Bush administration. It has not been a kind time for George W. Bush.
Most analyses have been harsh, raking him over the coals for everything
from Hurricane Katrina to Abu Ghraib to the financial meltdown to his
advocacy of nearly unfettered executive power. I would join in many of
those criticisms. But there is one area where President Bush’s legacy
will be strong and admirable — the way he is leaving office.
