Apparently, the White House is Filled with Quicksand


Judging by how fast Bush is sinking.

The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, released Wednesday night, finds that all five of Bush’s job approval ratings — on overall job performance, the economy, foreign policy, terrorism and Iraq — are at all-time lows in the survey. In addition, the CIA leak scandal seems to be taking a toll on the administration, with nearly 80 percent believing the indictment of Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby, is a serious matter, and with Bush experiencing a 17-point drop since January in those who see him as honest and straightforward.


Boy, a lot of people take a long time to wake up. What, were all of you Bush voters in the middle of a REM cycle during the last election?

According to the poll, Bush’s approval rating stands at an all-time low of 38 percent, a one-point decline since October; in fact, this is the third consecutive NBC/Journal survey showing Bush at an all-time low on his job approval. And it doesn’t stop there: Approval for his handling of the economy (34 percent), foreign policy (35 percent), terrorism (39 percent), and Iraq (32 percent) have all hit rock bottom.


Dems, you are being handed a big, shiny gift, complete with a bow. Don't fuck this up.

The Bush Republicans are finally having their masks ripped away, revealing the lizard aliens underneath. At this point, there is no reason to lose an election to a Republican. If the situation were reversed, the Repugs would destroy you.

Pick up on it.
