David Kirkpatrick of the New York Times warns us that the Feingold censure motion is rallying Bush’s base.
There’s like, what, 12 of ‘em left? Oooo, I’m so scared.
Yesterday the Pew Research Center put Bush’s approval rate at 33 percent, noting that the word most often used to describe the President these days is incompetent, followed closely by idiot and liar. Words appearing on the Pew one-word description of President Bush list for the first time include ass, jerk, and untrustworthy.
According to a SurveyUSA poll out this week, Bush’s approval numbers are above 50 percent in only three states — Utah, Wyoming and Alabama.
Yet at the mere mention of the dreaded Bush “base,” nearly the entire Democratic Party dashes for the bomb shelters.
Usually words come easily to me, but today I am nearly speechless with disgust at the spineless wonders in Washington. I hardly know where to begin. So I’m just going to link to a lot of other good commentary. Drop back by later and maybe I will be done sputtering in frustration.
