...handful of London demonstrators brandished the slogan WAR CRIMINAL at Bush's distant motorcade. On this trip the turnout for such protests was low (why waste effort on a man on his way out?), but many Europeans still see Iraq as the President's defining, and corrosive, legacy. Bush gave a startlingly wistful interview to the British newspaper The Times before embarking on his European trip, which took him to Slovenia, Germany, Italy, France and the United Kingdom. "I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone [on Iraq], a different rhetoric," he said. By the time...

...send a message about who you are is to pick someone who appears to be ... just like you. In 1992, Bill Clinton picked another Southern baby boomer with a moderate record and a full head of hair. Then Clinton, Al Gore and their wives took a bus trip that looked like a rolling scene from The Big Chill. Picking Gore reinforced Clinton's claim to be part of a new generation of Democratic pols, liberated from the tired (and losing) politics of the past...
