Waaay down low!

Apparently as the flood waters start to slowly recede in N'Awlins and along the Guff Coast, the one thing that they are finding under the newly dried-out land, is lower poll numbers for Bunnypants!.

Even some members of Bush's own party appear to have lost faith in their leader: The president's overall approval rating among Republicans has declined from 91 percent in January to 78 percent in the latest poll. Overall, barely half the country now characterize Bush as a "strong leader" -- down 12 points since May of last year. And the percent who say he can be "trusted in a crisis" likewise has fallen from 60 percent to 49 percent now.

Together, the poll portrays an increasingly unpopular president who is under siege at home and abroad. It also suggests that the public is growing impatient with an administration that once seemed so sure-footed but now seems unable to deal effectively with crises at home and abroad.

I have always maintained that there are some intelligent republicans out there, know a few myself, who would eventually figure out that Beloved Leader was a hack creation of Karl Rove's. Now it's starting to show...

The only sad part of this is that the media, which has been blinded by their own ambition to maintain that precious "access" to the 1600 Crew, would make a statement like that; about an administration that seemed so "sure footed" making missteps. The only people in America who believed that the 1600 Crew were "sure footed" were the Kool-aid Drinking Kewl Kidz of the Media and the Christo-Fascisti. The rest of the 51% of the morons who voted for Preznit Disenfranchise Blacks just more convinced that John Kerry could not protect them because the Smirk-Crashcart campaign told them so. Had Katrina happened last year, I suspect November might have told a different story...by far.

Well, woulda-should-coulda, wish in one hand, shit in the other and see which one fills up first. It's on to 2006 and some elections to take over at least one chamber of Congress. Then let the games begin.

But notice how no one is saying, "John Kerry would have done better."

Yeah, and Media Matters is reporting that Wolf "They are so poor and so black" Blitzer says Bush's poll numbers are going up.

Will he just STFU, please?

It is well past time to do the funky chickenhawk damdam on their sunken chests. Party, smarty. Give me back my BAR and my youthful sense of Kentucky windage. Well, no. That might be too good for them. I'd rather support the troops by impeaching the commander in thief and his feckless helots -- Dems and GOPs alike -- and send them to Falujah with only a brief stop in the Green Zone to pick up inadequate body armor and a bottle of Evian. I don't think they can be trusted with weapons. Perhaps they can continue to b.s. their way out of accountability.
