I guess the glass is 2/3 empty.
May 1st, 2006 at 8:03 pm…and what’s there is all backwash!
May 1st, 2006 at 8:39 pmDeserving of a reprise…
Bush on Bush: 37% is remarkable achievement for an underachiever.
An EWM exclusive.
May 1st, 2006 at 8:41 pmIs this approval rating for George Bush or his impersonator?
May 1st, 2006 at 8:42 pmBush may go down in history as the most popular (90%) and least popular (30%? 20%? 10%?) president ever.
May 1st, 2006 at 9:04 pmOr as Stephen Colbert would ask: Does this mean that 66% approve of the job he’s not doing?
May 1st, 2006 at 9:20 pmIts been stuck at 33% for the last couple of weeks. Gas prices and Rove’s indictment to follow(I am praying for it). My guesstimate is that the base is around 25%. We should hit that in a couple of months from now.
May 1st, 2006 at 9:26 pmLet’s have an impromptu unscientific poll in this thread.
“President George W. Bush is an asshat.”
Do you Strongly Agree, Somewhat Agree, Somewhat Disagree, or Strongly Disagree?
“President George W. Bush is the Asshat de tutti Asshat.”
Do you Strongly Agree, Somewhat Agree, Somewhat Disagree, or Strongly Disagree?
May 1st, 2006 at 9:34 pmGWB is an ass with or without a hat
May 1st, 2006 at 9:50 pmRed.
Bush and Pappy Bush hold the record for biggest decline in ratings for any Prez. Like mediocre father, like asshat son.

May 1st, 2006 at 10:00 pmSad thing is….Bubble boy doesn’t care….when all is said and done 25 million bucks will be waiting for him in an account in the Caymans….
It’s all about the money, always has been and always will be….
We can always hope that he does the “Shaivo” before he can enjoy a dime of it.
May 1st, 2006 at 10:08 pmDick: Hah Mine is still lower.
May 1st, 2006 at 10:09 pmGeorge: Look. [smirk] Rove is lower than a Snake
Dick: [mouthcorner] Yeh? So what. So was Libby.
George; Look.[Hic] mano a mano. First to 10% Wins.
Dick: Yer Drunk [grimace hate grimace]
George: Loser
Dick: Pig Farmer
Ooh! Ooh! Pick Meeeeeeeee! Pick Me, Jeb!
(giddy with anticipation… first poll I’ve been able to answer…)
I vote:
STONGLY AGREE that Bush is an asshat!!!!!!
Wow. That felt good.
Thank you, Jeb!
May 1st, 2006 at 10:10 pmI feel SO much better.
Once a con-man used car salesman scams enough people, the word eventually gets around, and he must move on.
May 1st, 2006 at 10:11 pmGeorge should get a Plexautomy
May 1st, 2006 at 10:11 pm[surgically implanted clear abdominal insert]
#12 you missed
George : you couldn’t get elected without me
May 1st, 2006 at 10:13 pmDick: want to go hunting?
Speaking of Bush doing a Schiavo, I hear that thing he wears is really for his heart, drugs and alcohol over the years…
George : you couldn’t get elected without me
May 1st, 2006 at 10:18 pmDick: want to go hunting?
George: See. Want to go drinking or driving? look.
Dick: How about drinking and driving [Grimace belch]
George: Been ther done that
Dick: Me too [$$ grimace bias hic]
George: Look. how bouts drinking, driving and hunting?
Dick: [grimace mouthcorner] Yeh and we could invite lawyers.
#12 You missed this too…..
George: I’ll trade you Laura for Lynn
May 1st, 2006 at 10:20 pmDick: No way, unless…you throw in Jenna
Damn baseball and fulltime jobs. There’s hardly enough time to blog, anymore, especially when the Yank Mes are in town. I hate posting stuff like this so late.
But better late than never. Especially if you’re an Animal House fan. Maybe this sympathetic essay will help his sagging numbers.
May 1st, 2006 at 11:02 pm“I’m the decider.”
May 1st, 2006 at 11:21 pmMarie (#6) Good one!!!!!
Just wait until all of our kids is reading gooder. As it is now, His approval rating seems to match the percentage of the adult population that either dropped out of high school or graduated with less than a 2.0 grade point average.
May 1st, 2006 at 11:21 pmI warned people four years ago that George W. Bush is no damned good but noooooo!
Nobody wanted to listen to me. They were all like “Well what about the terrorists?” or “What about Clinton’s blowjob?”
Even today some of them still have that same stick up their asses.
May 1st, 2006 at 11:47 pmI feel the same way Lefty.
May 1st, 2006 at 11:48 pm#22 Lovable,
I was warning people in the year 2000, I knew this man was not fit for the job and was downright scary. It was bizarre that so few others saw this.
May 1st, 2006 at 11:53 pm#22 and #24 actually the Majority of all voters in 2000 agreed but they all didn’t live in the right places at the right time to actually elect the canidate who got the most votes…..
May 2nd, 2006 at 12:09 amSlip sliding away…and very little on the horizon to turn the trend around. They have to be totally frustrated…completely unable to find some traction or a winning issue.
I recall the President talking about the mandate he received in the election and all the political capital he had to spend. It looks like the only man-date left might be for those who may end up in the clink. As to all that capital, it was spent at about the same pace as the ever expanding national debt.
In the end, the ethically bankrupt are seemingly becoming the politically bankrupt…looks like a just outcome to me.

May 2nd, 2006 at 12:17 amDon’t you see the rest 66% are all “evil communists”?
(funny one #12)
May 2nd, 2006 at 2:11 amand don’t forget, rix, “terrorist lovers”.
this is how brit hume on ‘fakes’ news will report it: “67% disapproval for bush — has america become a terrorist breeding ground?”
May 2nd, 2006 at 2:55 am# 21 Briseadh na Faire:
Thank you for your well timed words on another thread.
”Greetings, well-met fellow, hail !”
May 2nd, 2006 at 2:57 amHa ha I was just thinking that now Ann Coulter would want to kill 2/3rds of the country! Wonder how she’s going to go about it? ;)
May 2nd, 2006 at 3:12 amKinda’ sounds like someone is talking to themselves again.
May 2nd, 2006 at 4:04 amJeb
Bush is an ass without cheeks.
May 2nd, 2006 at 4:29 am[comment deleted by Bush]
May 2nd, 2006 at 5:16 amI”m wondering about the 8% that say Bush has a clear plan for keeping gas prices down. I guess they’d say Bush’s “Pray for no hurricanes” plan was a clear plan for safeguarding New Orleans.
May 2nd, 2006 at 7:01 amMeh thats not so bad, his comments about the SSB helped some.
Bono is Brian Peppers!
May 2nd, 2006 at 7:56 am33% is surely an inflated number bouyed by lobbying, dirty tricks and intimidation of the current administration. In light of Dubya’s failures, which is everything he has ever done or thought of doing, a rational person could not possible support him.
The rather high number of 33% must be due to either the factors alluded to in the previous paragraph or an inflated sampling of republicans and/or family members.
May 2nd, 2006 at 8:09 amHow about ‘A Day Without the 66% of those who dissaprove of Bush’ ?
May 2nd, 2006 at 8:29 am#37 Meaning a headline like – Mad As Hell… ‘A Day Without the 66% of those who dissaprove of Bush’ Walk Off The Job Across The Country…
May 2nd, 2006 at 8:38 amJust John, good point, add to that, don’t buy anything. If we could get all the truckers and transport people to join in we would stop everything……Trouble is many people today can’t afford to miss even one day of work. Worked with many like that, high mortgages and car payments, one day missed at work ment they could loose a lot. Sad state of affairs……..Worst president ever, ass in charge, no hat, no cattle, no pigs, just words, brush and bombs. Scary thought folks we have a insane, druggie ,drunk that can bomb anywhere. I told every one I knew about this madman as well, maybe they will listen now…….Blessings, we need them
May 2nd, 2006 at 9:23 amIs civics still taught in high school?
May 2nd, 2006 at 9:25 amDo kids have to know basic government before graduating?
Not a question I can answer Marie, I don’t know…..With all the cut’s in education, suprised if anything is taught……..Blessings
May 2nd, 2006 at 9:36 amThe only things that are taught are those which will result in the highest scores on the NCLB Tests.
I currently teach 8th Grade Social Studies, Language Arts and Remedial Reading. My Band Program was axed at the end of last year.
May 2nd, 2006 at 9:41 amIn Texas Government is a senior level course. However, unless a student is in an Ap (advanced placement) class, it is pretty much a blow off course.
May 2nd, 2006 at 9:57 amjust before any elections it will be 50 – 50 so they can cheat again causing no suspicion – tellin ya as it will be
May 2nd, 2006 at 10:03 amYou know, the comments about bush being upset seem at odds with what you actually see on the video of Colbert’s brilliant performance. Colbert snubbed bush. He shook his hand as bush SMILED and seemed to maintain eye contact until Colbert moved on past him. Then, he didn’t even offer a hand to ms. bush, and seemed to spend the same perfunctory moment with her that he had with her husband, the election thief.
Helen Thomas, the great Helen Thomas, seemed to be the one Colbert really wanted to speak with and be associated with on that dais.
I think all this bluster about bush being upset is belied by the fact that he has a smile, fixed probably, and he seems his dumb old self, just sitting there and taking it. It’s bush’s act to not respond to obvious, pointed, warranted criticism. He blithely pretends, as in all things, that the real world didn’t just happen. This Saturday at the dinner seemed to be more of the same from bush.
Rather, the real story here is that Colbert behaved heroically, and he did not shy away from maintaining his stance when it came time to be cordial to the president. He was cordial, then moved on to more important, honest people.
You know, people who are not destroying this planet.
And above all, good for Colbert to dog the media. He really nailed everyone. Why would a patriot do otherwise? Why pretend to like the detestible. Colbert did not betray himself, or his country, or his legions of fans.
