Rachel Maddow, a guest Wednesday night on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, was asked what question she’d pose to Bill O’Reilly.
Watch: Mediaite
What’s the thinking behind this? Is the RNC banking on a complete rehabilitation of W’s image, or are they trying to usher in such a rehabilitaiton themselves? Why does the tone of the sticker seem vaguely sarcastic? We’re as stumped as you. source
They did it for Reagan, so now it’s Bush’s turn.
“Thanks, W., for the unnecessary wars and deaths and for helping to ruin the economy!”
EDIT: Rachel Maddow did a great piece the other night about the short attention span and memory of Americans which illustrates the above wonderfully.

Rachel Maddow on the Ellen Degeneres Show discussing the film Miss Representation, in which Maddow is interviewed on women in the media.

Outstanding coverage of the FAA shutdown and union rights, plus a look back at Reagan’s firing of air traffic controllers.
Thomas Burr, Washington correspondent for The Salt Lake Tribune:
You know, he said the last time I interviewed him—he talked about how he wants to run a very, you know, civil campaign. He did talk [Tuesday] about the president a little bit, but not in any way that was negative towards him. In fact, he said he respected the president, which is not something you really expect to hear at a Republican announcing.
That‘s very Jon Huntsman.
When he ran his last two campaigns in Utah, in fact, I interviewed the Democratic candidate, he called Huntsman a gentleman.
The first time around in 2004, Scott Matheson was the Democratic candidate. When Huntsman won, Scott Matheson walked a block over to the GOP headquarters, walked in and hugged Huntsman and congratulated him.
This is Jon Huntsman.
Rachel Maddow:
Wow.
