Subtract the war on terror, including Iraq, and the Bush presidency looks small indeed. Buying short-term prosperity by goosing the economy with heavy borrowing is no trick at all, yet it's not clear that Bush has pulled off even this (except the borrowing). His party has controlled Congress for most of his term. Aside from the traditional Republican wealth-friendly tax cut, can you name a single major successful legislative initiative?

QUIGLEY: Yes, I think it is. As somebody said to us, "Can I still play with the big boys?" There's no other way to find out except to go out there and do it. That's why we're big believers in a part-time job. You see that you can do it: you can handle a sick patient, you can handle a cranky client. Then you can expand to full time...
