REMEMBER "THE FIRST MBA PRESIDENT"?

The Press wasted a lot of ink praising Fredo for his management skills despite having no clue about how badly the WH was being run. Perrspectives found this 2002 column in USA Today and it provides a good sample of how the Villagers thought about Bush:

Few Democrats have faced up to the reality that Bush and his fellow Republicans know how to manage the government. Stephen Hess, a scholar of the presidency at the Brookings Institution, says, "This is the best-run White House since Eisenhower." As Hess notes in a new edition of his book Organizing the Presidency, Bush "imposed his own ideas about running an executive office by making structural changes reflecting his priorities, goals and general approach to governing."
