2. The new ploy is to send out the Shrub's "better half"* to improve
Edited on Sun May-14-06 01:40 PM by OmmmSweetOmmm
his image and it seems that whoever is advising on this just doesn't get that the jig is up. America knows what a Miserable Failure he is.

*"better half" as described by Stephen Colbert. :-)

they look like probabilities on the grade he would make in any given class in college.

8. I see he's made a REAL effort then...
Edited on Sun May-14-06 01:53 PM by badgerpup
...and improved his GPA a bit since his college days...
:rofl:
OK, cheap shot. I'll admit it.
:spank:

edited to add that while I voted that the media had been 'fair' to Bush...actually I think not.
Kissing his ass, covering up, spinning things like a damn centrifuge and playing lapdog is NOT the definition of 'fair'.
:grr:

57% F and 63% 'fair'. Think the freepers are awake and about?

should have shown him to be the Sad a$$ed fascist bum he is but they refuse to do it. That is not fair.

22. I gave Bush an F, but..
.. I couldn't vote on the media fairness question.

The media have simply been Bush's house slaves.

in unreality, so it's not very surprising that Mrs. Dumbass would be in denial.

21. What a crappy second question.
If you say the truth, which is no (because they've been coddling him not being fair), it sounds like the media has been tough on him.

Hmm, why aren't more people giving the plunderer-torturer an F?

Looks like the backwash is definitely dipping under 30%

I couldn't answer the second question. It should have read "Do you think the media have been fair to Americans?"

27. Done, but I also resent that second question.
Has the media been "fair" to Dubya? They have been irresponsibly and criminally "fair," bending over backwards to protect his worthless ass and give credibility to his nonstop lies. But there was no way of saying that.

The first question has the answer "F" off the page so that you have to scroll for it.

37. Laura says she doesn't believe the low polling
because wherever she goes she meets people who tell her what a bang-up job Bush is doing.

This is a problem with politicians in general, but much moreso with this administration who make sure anybody who gets within a mile of themselves is a supporter. I'm sure on a personal level that Laura has a problem believing her husband is so unpopular, but she must know how selective the cross-section of people she meets are towards partisans who agree with him.


And the poll is missing the third option on the fairness question: "More than fair."

The way the question is worded the media is either being mean or fair, which leaves out the vast truth, that the media has been unfairly coddling Bush. You know, the other side of the argument that would have likely gotten the most votes.

They probably just forgot.

Note on Poll Results



From the accompanying article:

Mrs. Bush complained that when her husband's popularity was high, newspapers did not put that on the front page. Now it was low, they took great delight in highlighting the fact.

Asked if she thought the media had been unfair, Mrs. Bush said: "No, I don't think it's necessarily unfair. I think it's just, you know, I think they may be enjoying this a little bit."


Oh, boo-fucking-hoo. You're all fucking terrorists and you drop a tear because the media isn't licking your asses as much as usual. Yep. I'm crying real hard for you.




"I don't really believe those polls. I travel around the country. I see people, I see their responses to my husband. I see their response to me," she said.

"As I travel around the United States, I see a lot of appreciation for him. A lot of people come up to me and say, 'Stay the course'."


Well, my dearie, of course you don't see the reality when you're only available to pre-approved crowds. Try heading your prissy little ass down to unfriendly territory, like East LA or South Central. Try my neck of the woods. We eat shit like you and spit you out for breakfast. Fuck you, you god damned terrorists!

:rant:

Ok, I feel much better now.
