Peggy Noonan Likens Bush Spending to LBJ’s

This is emblematic of how harsh some conservatives are becoming towards George W. Bush.

Peggy Noonan has taken a few shots at Bush in the past year, but equating him with LBJ must be particularly galling to those inside the bunker.

Says Noonan in her opinionjournal.com piece, “I believe it is fair to say most Republicans did not think George W. Bush was motivated to run for the presidency for the primary reason of cutting or controlling spending. But it is also fair to say that they did not think he was Lyndon B. Johnson. And that’s what he’s turned into.”
