History may be the best judge, but George W. Bush can already spot the highs and lows of his eight years in office. At his final press conference, Bush candidly (and theatrically) ticked off his administration’s biggest mistakes, including the “Mission Accomplished” banner and the Abu Ghraib prison abuses, among others. But when asked to recall his biggest accomplishment, Bush needed no pause. "The best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound largemouth bass in my lake," he joked. (Bush is pictured at right with a different fishing triumph.) Our own tour of the highest highs and lowest lows of an indisputably historic presidency.
