This is from The Independent of London:

The public perception of Mr Bush, who leaves office in January, as already being “history” was heightened by the arrival of three historians at Downing Street for last night’s dinner.

David Cannadine, Churchill’s official biographer Martin Gilbert and Simon Schama, presenter of the popular television series A History Of Britain, were invited after Mr Bush expressed an interest in meeting some historians, a No 10 source said. Professor Schama is reported to have described Mr Bush’s presidency as “an absolute fucking catastrophe”.
