Watching BushCo crumble

This is what happens when you build your entire presidency on an intricate network of aww-shucks glibness and bad hair and cronyism and corporate fellatio and warmongering and sham enemies and economy-gutting policies and endless blank-eyed smirks that tell the world, every single day, whelp, sure 'nuff, the U.S. is full of it.

Shrub's ratings have dropped below 50 percent for the first (and probably not the last) time since they surged hugely right after 9/11 and he was hoisted in front of a wary America and puffed out his chest and pretended like he could find Afghanistan on a map and promised he would bomb every damn country on the planet that didn't have a McDonald's or an Exxon or a secret U.S. chemical-weapons deal.

5. In what poll is Bush below 50 percent?
I'm not aware of any such national poll (yet). Maybe he's referring to Bush's approval rating in California, which is now 49 percent.

but I heard the Detroit News had * below 50% for election and trailing the ever-popular un-named Democrat
http://detnews.com/2003/politics/0307/25/a01-227197.htm
>Despite Bush's encouraging words, nearly two-thirds of Michiganians in a Detroit News poll published Thursday said the economy is in bad straits -- by far the worst since The News began polling on that issue in 1996. Residents are about equally divided on their approval of Bush's economic policies.

(Not the exact link but it give the general idea)

9. what a great article!
I loved his line about getting mugged. That's exactly how I felt watching the speech on the aircraft carrier.

I really can't wait for the primaries to be over, and for the nominee to just go after the mugger relentlessly. There is so much to work with, going back to the 2000 election rhetoric, and everything that happened since he took office.

10. It will be so enjoyable watching the Bush lovers go into depression.
It might be the happiest moment of my life watching Bush concede defeat on election night.

12. Concede? Or throw a tantrum on the floor?
Really, which is more likely?
