Maddow: Let’s not forget the George Bush ‘Poop Cruise’ presidency
Read Time:1 Minute, 51 Second
On Thursday night’s edition of “The Rachel Maddow Show,” host Rachel Maddow took the occasion of the opening of the George W. Bush Presidential Library to share her thoughts on the whitewashing of our 43rd president’s legacy. She compared his eight years in office to the Carnival “Poop Cruise,” the cruise ship that went dead in the water in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this year, stranding passengers for days with no toilets, no fresh water and a rapidly rotting food supply.
“If you work in the cruise industry, you might be worried about the impact of the whole poop cruise on your business,” Maddow said. “No. An executive of MSC was quoted right after the Poop Cruise thing saying the industry was pretty confident nobody was ever going to remember this.” (MSC stands for the Mediterranean Shipping Company, a division of which handles European cruises.)
This “nobody will remember” approach seems to be the modus operandi of the squadron of former Bush officials (and Lanny Davis) who have been pressed into service in the recent attempt to rehabilitate the George W. Bush legacy and pretend that the whole “invade a country on false pretenses” thing never happened.
“Idea number one,” said Maddow, is “the poop cruise idea is Americans have short memories. Idea number two is we are fast approaching the 10 year anniversary of the ‘Mission Accomplished’ speech on May 1st.”
Will Americans remember the disaster that was the George W. Bush presidency or will they allow themselves to be lulled into believing that maybe it all wasn’t so bad?
And perhaps most bafflingly of all, Maddow said, the public opening of the Bush Library is set for May 1, next week, the tenth anniversary of the “Mission Accomplished” speech.
“They are opening the George W. Bush Presidential Library 10 years after the ‘Mission Accomplished’ speech,” which she concluded is “either an inside joke or this is some kind of crisis management test of the ‘Poop Cruise’ thesis, that Americans really do have very, shockingly short memories.”

and Norman Rampart has nothing more to say…….
What else is there to say? GHWB is looking at the long sleep. Sonny Boy is still the worst president of all time with no second place in sight.
I don’t know where he went. He just disappeared.
The chap is in a wheelchair and well fucked.
Soz Maddow – pick on someone who even wants to fight back.
You may be right but a guy in a wheelchair is a soft target.
Be brave enough to pick a ‘hot’ target and I’ll give a shit. In my defence I am English so what do I know eh? 😉
Norman, I am not sure who you are referring to in the wheel chair. George W. Bush is not in a wheel chair, at least he wasn’t last week. As far as picking on someone who doesn’t want to fight back, G.W. Bush has no ammunition. Even after it has been proven that he and Dick Cheney lied us into the Iraq war he still says it was the right thing to do. Before he and Rachel Maddow could even have a conversation Rachel would have to take her brain out and even then Bush would be at a disadvantage.
George H.W. Bush was in a wheelchair Bill.
Actually Homeland Security was always in place, except it was really just a number of independent agencies like customs and such. This created a bureaucratic nightmare. Combining them into one was a good idea.
No one will forget while I am alive. I’ll be here to remind us what a disaster as a president this man was. The country may never recover from those eight years.
Yep, the liberal spending fool on ill begotten Iraq.Of course we won’t forget the Patriot Act and Homeland Security.
Nor should we forget who voted for those things as a senator then extended and strengthened them as a president.
Maddow herself is A Poop Cruise…
I like Rachel Maddow. She’s a well educated, brilliant young woman who makes for a classy liberal mouthpiece. The exact opposite of that blustering blowhard who represents the Right: Rush Limbaugh.
