A HOPEFUL SIGN
A nation that put humankind on the moon and mapped the human genome also watches for an hour each week while a rich jerk tells some snot-nosed MBA "You're fired," and took weeks to vote that red-headed kid off American Idol. Such is the paradox that is America. We're smart enough to vote Bush out of the White House, but we're also dumb enough to put him back in. So I don't know what to expect in November.
But we do have some reasons to hope. Today's New York Times/CBS poll finds that Bush's approval numbers are at an all-time low -- and that more than half the country now says that invading Iraq was the wrong thing to do.
The poll said the Iraq war appeared to have hurt assessments of Bush -- his overall approval rating (46 percent), his rating on handling Iraq (41 percent) and his rating on handling foreign policy (40 percent) "are at the lowest points ever in this administration."
By the way, why did the marionette president insist on having puppeteer Cheney with him when he lied to -- I mean, when he testified in private to the 9/11 commission? Couldn't be because this administration has been lying since Day 1 about the attacks and Cheney had to be there to make sure Bush got his story straight, now could it? Naaaaaaaah.
