The Bush presidency is winding to a close, but his term is not over yet. This ‘lame duck’ period of the presidency is often a time for last minute executive orders and pardons. We look at the waning days of the Bush administration and consider his legacy.

Guests:

Robert Scheer, editor in chief of Truthdig, an online political magazine

Bill Whalen, research fellow at the Hoover Institution and political consultant to Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Campbell and Richard Riordan

Russell Riley, presidential scholar at the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia
