Actually far from repudiating science, the Bush years provide an excellent example of Tyranny of Science at work. It is under Bush that we saw such monstrosities as the high-tech military doctrine of Rumsfeld, creationism, test-scores based education reform (No Child Left Behind) etc. All of which have scientific pretensions and are based on the hubris that logical (usually reductionist) reasoning based on hard, cold facts can provide simple one-size-fits-all answers to such things as what is the best way to run schools, wage war etc.
I have no idea how you can describe "creationism" as science. You might as well describe astrology, numerology, pataphysics, astral projectionism and coffee enemas as science.
