Bush "uptick" in polls BOGUS
It was posted here yesterday. Bush is actually UP in the polls.

CNN did a headline on it. YAY! Bush is UP in the polls! YAY! Bush is God! YAY!

Oops...now for the quick disclaimer before we break for commercial...this uptick in Bush's approval numbers they are touting are from polls BEFORE the MTP fiasco. Okay, sure...so why do you bother reporting them NOW? BFD.

Now please don't tell me the media is not on Bush's team.

1. Oh for heaven's sake...what a cheap trick. Media whores indeed. But
on the other hand, I have heard an awful lot from some pretty unlikely sources who say Chimp blew it big time, and even so much as admitting the cretin needs to be 'handled' by saying he should not have been allowed to do this...
Wonder how he likes being continuously fisted by Uncle Dick??

2. I saw MTP
And the chimp screwed the pooch big time. He was incoherent most of the time, didn't answer the questions he was asked, tried to blame Clinton in an off-hand way.

The strangest part was he'd seem to pause in mid sentence and then talk about a completly different subject. I thought Karl Rove was in the next room, talking to him through an earpiece, but when I watched a little closer on the Daily Show last night, I couldn't see one.

3. Within MOE of 4%; means nothing.

6. Whistling To The Graveyard
Not quite there yet, but there's a lot of Bush '92 in the air these days.

Yep...these numbers are a 3 day average...Thu, Fri, Sat...gathered on Sunday, released yesterday. Let's see when the averages roll to Mon, Tue & Wed...and then let's see whose doing the cheering.

The Neilsens on the MTP appearance were impressive...lots of people tuned in, now we'll see if our perceptions (along with Peggy Noonan's) that this was a dud leads to a "downtick" on Friday.

We know the manchild and his horde have been taking a beating in the Chattering class the past few days...let's see if that's resonating (damn I love when I talk Dick Morisese) with the Repugnican base. No need to sell any of us Democrats on how this regime is a total disaster.

Tweety Matthews summed it up this morning when he said he'd never seen the Democratic base as charged up in it's desire to remove bunnypants...and all elements of the party are coming together and will be showing up at the polls in November. The game now is moving into the GOOP camp as to how to react. I'm starting to think Mr. Rove is not very good at playing ahead...just like James Baker in '92.

Remember, CNN chimps like Miles Mindbender and the double-breasted newsreaders they put on during the day are supposed to "lighten" things up...ya know, nothin' personal when they cheer for bunnypants (That's showing they're "Americans") and catering to their largest audience...angry, middle-aged white people.
