No More Mr. Nice Guy!

They hate us for our, um, bushiness

George Bush Junior's poll numbers are at their lowest point ever, just about half what Clinton's were when he was impeached - 37% versus 73%. And they're still trending down! (if Newsmax says Junior's popularity is rebounding, that proves it's diving further down into the toilet.)

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks Junior is becoming more than a little unglued, pathetically lashing back and flashing back, trying to fight John Kerry all over again. Junior's latest tack: he didn't mislead, the Dems misfollowed. "But... but... but... sniff sniff - they had the same phoney intelligence we had!" Total, unmitigated BS. Even Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia had access to intelligence that the White House was withholding from the Democrats, and from Colin Powell for that matter.

Getting back to the polls, one interesting tidbit in the first link above is that 6% of people are willing to say - even in this age of secret torture gulags and the Patriot Act - that they hate Junior. What I find even more astonishing is that the poll asked: "Do you hate the president of the United States?"

Personally, and I know this may come as a shock to regular readers, I don't hate Bush. Hating someone is a futile and self-destructive emotion. It's a waste of time and psychic energy - my hatred would have no effect on Monkeynuts, and accomplish nothing except raising my own blood pressure. What I hate is Boy Wonder's actions, the horrific effect he has had on this country and the world. Hatred of evil is good, especially if it prompts you to fight and overcome the evil.

Thus endeth today's sermon. Back to the schadenfreude! In your face, rethug bitches! 37%! And it will get even lower before we kick Junior's scrawny ass back to Crawford!
