Countdown: Bush's Real Legacy

Keith Olbermann took a look yesterday at the legacy of George W. Bush.

The Bush administration is attempting spin away his actual legacy. Luckily the LA Times was able to get their hands talking points memo that was handed out to staff:

A two-page memo that has been sent to Cabinet members and other high-ranking officials offers a guide for discussing Bush's eight-year tenure during their public speeches.

Titled "Speech Topper on the Bush Record," the talking points state that Bush "kept the American people safe" after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, lifted the economy after 2001 through tax cuts, curbed AIDS in Africa and maintained "the honor and the dignity of his office."

The document presents the Bush record as an unalloyed success.
