Nixon 2.0, the revised and even buggier version of republican stupidity.
May 11th, 2006 at 10:48 pmHoly crap! I’m getting dangerously close to feeling sorry for this rube. Not.
With all the clouds on the horizon, I’m guessing things are kind of mirthless at the old West Wing.
May 11th, 2006 at 10:48 pmChris Matthews: “Everybody sort of likes the president, except for the real whack-jobs, maybe on the left.”
Reality: “President Bush’s job-approval rating has fallen to its lowest mark of his presidency, according to a new Harris Interactive poll. Of 1,003 U.S. adults surveyed in a telephone poll, 29% think Mr. Bush is doing an “excellent or pretty good†job as president, down from 35% in April and significantly lower than 43% in January.”
Write to him and tell him who the real whack-job is: hardball@msnbc.com
May 11th, 2006 at 10:48 pmAnd the new NSA revelation is barely a day old.
He still hasn’t hit bottom.
May 11th, 2006 at 10:49 pmhow low can you go W? will you sit on the edge of a dime and dangle your legs ?
May 11th, 2006 at 10:49 pmThe good news is there is no where to go but up
And the dems are in complete disarray and have no ideas

Heckuva Job Duhbya!
May 11th, 2006 at 10:51 pmFirst of all, that is a terrible metaphor. This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring! If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg…
Ka-Boom.
May 11th, 2006 at 10:52 pmCorporation for Public Broadcasting: “Republican chairman hired a consultant to identify liberal bias in its programs. The consultant apparently considered any criticism of the administration a sign of liberalism, even if it came from conservatives.”
HAHAHAHAAAAA!!
Chris Matthews: “Everybody sort of likes the president, except for the real whack-jobs, maybe on the left.â€
Sure Chris Sure.
May 11th, 2006 at 10:52 pmPoles(polls) don’t mean anything! unless a hot call-boy is packin’ one.
May 11th, 2006 at 10:56 pmBush will be down to rock bottom 20% to 25% in a couple months! Those in the rock bottom are Pat Robertson disciples, skin head Nazis in Idaho, and toothless rednecks in the midwest region and the south > lol.
May 11th, 2006 at 10:57 pmHey did George Beat Cheney to the Bottom yet?
May 11th, 2006 at 11:04 pmBush is pushing below Nixon for the lowest poll numbers ever…
sort of fits the worst pResident ever…………and I mean ever
May 11th, 2006 at 11:06 pmStick a fork in him. He’s done.
But then just keep stickin’ a fork in him anyway.

May 11th, 2006 at 11:10 pmDid Tweety really say that???????
That man is getting his ass kicked for saying that. Time to go back to the Open Letter To Chris Matthews website. Get someone to update it and kick ass.
May 11th, 2006 at 11:18 pm#11. LOL!!!! That’s alll who’s left now!!!! Even Scarborough and Gingrich have turned against Bush. I never thought I’d see this.
May 11th, 2006 at 11:19 pmThe reality ~ from the start ~ is that this is a failed person. He’s had his tracks covered by rich parents and “loyal” friends for his entire life. This stage is simply too big for a half-wit and mentally unbalanced lazy boy. He will look back at 30% approval ratings soon and dream of the “good ol’ days.”
May 11th, 2006 at 11:20 pmIt’s Battle Fatigue!! Says George.
May 11th, 2006 at 11:22 pmReally?
Adding Insult to Injury…..
——————————————–
Battle fatigue: The World War II name for what is known today as post-traumatic stress, this is a psychological disorder that develops in some individuals who have had major traumatic experiences (and, for example, have been in a serious accident or through a war). The person is typically numb at first but later has symptoms including depression, excessive irritability, guilt (for having survived while others died), recurrent nightmares, flashbacks to the traumatic scene, and overreaction to sudden noises. Post-traumatic stress became known as such in the 70s due to the adjustment problems of some Vietnam veterans.
————————————————————
So the WAR that Bush Fomented is the Problem?
Then Who decided to take us to War? The Decider? Yupp.
SO Bush has Admitted HIS War, and the Deaths from that War are all his fault, JUST as is his POLL ratings.
It’s not the Medias, nor the Liberals Fault, in any way shape or form.
Whom here Voted to go to WAR?
Anyone? I never saw a War vote? did you?
Ahh so its perfectly safe to say this;
The Decider did it
Not only the worst President ever, but also the most dangerous one. This guy is nuts.
May 11th, 2006 at 11:24 pmAin’t that something. I know deep inside they don’t wann go against their own men. I think there is itty bitty conscience in these guys that tweety lacks. Wonder how much was tweety bought for.
May 11th, 2006 at 11:27 pm#11, Bush will be down to rock bottom 20% to 25% in a couple months! Those in the rock bottom are Pat Robertson disciples, skin head Nazis in Idaho, and toothless rednecks in the midwest region and the south > lol.
Comment by Jay Randal — May 11, 2006 @ 10:57 pm
I’m hoping for rock bottom of 20%, or less, by the end of this month, which is only 2.5 weeks away, not months! Hooohah! Hell, he slipped two points in one day!
May 11th, 2006 at 11:30 pmYou people are idiots. But it makes you funny.
May 11th, 2006 at 11:37 pmThank you for making me laugh.
#23 Girl if we are funny to you Bush must leave you ROTFLMAO
May 11th, 2006 at 11:43 pmActually, #24, that’d be ROTFLYAO.

May 11th, 2006 at 11:49 pmHow low can he go?? Hey Tweety, I guess I’m one of those wack job lefties then because I hate Bush with a passion. Maybe the question isn’t who disagrees with Bush, but the ever loving morons who agree with him!!
May 11th, 2006 at 11:50 pmCouldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
May 11th, 2006 at 11:58 pmYeah, CNN just started running the latest datamining. Saw one segment asking people what they thought, on the street. People are pissed, really ticked off.
This was all over the office at work today, even past Bush defenders are pissed. this is gonna sink him.
Here is the real kicker “The call-collecting program is focused on domestic calls, those that originate and terminate within U.S. borders.”
http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/
Remember that when it first came out, Bush said it was overseas call, where one party was in the US.
Suprise, suprise, they lied =P
May 12th, 2006 at 12:00 amseveral posts here reminded me - colbert’s sign off tonight, he will have chris matthews as guest on monday - (paraphrase) “we’ll see who has the hardest ball” …
May 12th, 2006 at 12:09 amThose of us of the non-Fascist persuasion know Bush is the worst president in American history. Soon it will be official!
May 12th, 2006 at 12:12 amWhat’s that line that people sometimes chant during limbo dances? Ah, yes…
HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?
May 12th, 2006 at 12:35 amHOW LOW CAN YOU GO?
HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?
HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?
Isn’t ironic that this was a telephone poll?
May 12th, 2006 at 12:58 amNice to see, that Americans have at last noticed, what other world noticed during his first years in office.
May 12th, 2006 at 2:22 amWow, on my way home I was struck by a falling chimp. Luckily I was wearing my hockey helmut.
-GSD
May 12th, 2006 at 2:46 am#32- Isn’t it? Great catch, made me laugh. My thanks.
May 12th, 2006 at 2:55 amIt seems to defy my ability to understand how it is that, even with every asset and advantage available to us, technology, weapons, military might, basically anything and everything at our disposal, we cannot ‘win’, in Afghanistan, or Iraq? And why do they stubbornly refuse to accept the reality of the situation, and fix that SH*T!
May 12th, 2006 at 4:05 amThe only rats that haven’t yet left are the ones stuck in the hold. Knawing and clawing each other for footing, they now curse the head rat for not being “rat” (conservative) enough to save them from their verminous fates, as the filthy bilge rises higher . . .
May 12th, 2006 at 4:27 amafter another 2% Bush will officially be the worst pretzel ever ….. Gonna get a bottle of bollinger awaiting the news …
Afetr everything bush has done he deserves JAIL
May 12th, 2006 at 5:03 amHe´s going to serve the full term. Wether or not that is a good thing is debatable. At least he hasn´t plunged into a nuclear war yet. Let´s look at the bright side!
May 12th, 2006 at 5:06 am37
They aren’t rats, though they are rodents. They are lemmings who have suddenly come to the realisation that their dear leader has led them over the edge of a cliff. Hear all of the Republican leaders going splat? That is soon going to be the Republican followers.
May 12th, 2006 at 5:28 am#40
My point is they’re now claiming Bush is really a liberal, not at all a “rat” like them.
May 12th, 2006 at 5:33 am#41
Of course, their egos won’t let them admit that they were wrong, so they claim their leader isn’t one of them. Doesn’t change the fact that they followed him over the edge of that cliff though does it?
May 12th, 2006 at 5:35 amUnfortunaly antiwar.com is having trouble to finance their website. I do not work there, but please support if you can. It’s a good source for information. We need all the information we can get.
May 12th, 2006 at 5:54 am29% are still supporting Bush a MASS MURDERER OF INNOCENT IRAQI WOMEN AND CHILDREN, A TORTURER, HOLDING PEOPLE ILLEGALLY IN GUANTANAMO, THIEF, LAW BREAKER, FAILURE OF ALL ASPECTS OF HUMAN RIGHTS FROM HEALTH TO CARE IN THE COMMUNITY, BREAKING UN TREATIES,
Only America can hide Bush, Hes not welcome anywhere in the world
May 12th, 2006 at 6:01 amLike father, like son. 29% was as low as George H. W. Bush got in the polls, according to an article in USA Today I dug up from seven months ago, when W’s ratings hit 39%, “the lowest of his presidency.” Now they can commiserate together.
May 12th, 2006 at 6:25 amHow LOW can Bush go?
Soon he will be able to play handball against the curb!
He already has to look up to look down!
BushCo = LIARS!
May 12th, 2006 at 6:28 amSomething still makes me think they won’t loose in the Midterms.
71% might think things are going wrong, but when it comes down to it, nothing’s wrong with _their_ own congressman. No, not ever!
May 12th, 2006 at 6:58 amDubya always wanted to be just like Poppy. Well, he got his wish, and will do him one better
May 12th, 2006 at 7:00 amDoes anyone else think today will be Fitzmas?
May 12th, 2006 at 7:09 amSo if 4% of the population actually benifit from his tax cuts, who are the other 25%? Is that the amount of people who cannot read English that are living in the US? Seems high to me. Of course we have Ann Coulter, Rush and Bill O’Reilly spewing their hatrid on the airwaves. Could they be hiding the truth from these people this successfully? Or is it true that 1/4 of American’s simply do not like our American Values?. Freedom of speech, separation of church and state, not being spied on, not being lied to, being able to breath the air, etc.
May 12th, 2006 at 8:03 amget drunk and screw, or butcher in the name of god. As the Floyd said it a long buzz ago: pigs on the wing, dogs, and the scared sheep who elcted this moron.
May 12th, 2006 at 8:05 amOh My News
Does Ahmadinejad Have a Point?
Tell us what you think of Iranian president’s letter to George W. Bush
http://english.ohmynews.com/ ArticleView/ article_view.asp?menu=A11100&no=291536&rel_no=1&back_url=
Strangley enough sofar 67% of the world thinks BUSH should talk to IRAN
so do i
As in Neil Youngs song lets impeach the president “George Bush states war is a last resort”
Funny when you cant even Talk - WHAT A MORON BUSH REALLY IS
May 12th, 2006 at 8:16 amAs one Bush support posted:
Its the liberal media that has made America turn against Bush.
May 12th, 2006 at 8:16 amAt least that was better then the insane denials that Bush poll numbers were anywhere near the low 50% let alone low 30% a few months ago.
#47 Is right dont count your chickens befoe they hatch
May 12th, 2006 at 8:22 amBush low poll numbers hasnt translated into support for demcrates YET. You still have a lot of work to do. Like the 2004 elections they were yours to lose.
Bush just added a Signing Statement to his approval rating. He now declares that 29% actually means 99%.
May 12th, 2006 at 8:37 amI know, I know… but it’s still fun to watch him fall! If he gets stuck, give him a little help with your mouse.
http://www.planetdan.net/pics/misc/georgie.htm
May 12th, 2006 at 8:38 am#53 So let’s ask the neocons why the media is so left? So why?
May 12th, 2006 at 8:39 amBush just added a Signing Statement to the Constitution. He now declares the Constitution, “Just a Goddman piece of Paper!”
May 12th, 2006 at 8:43 amEven his low approval ratings are not stopping him from doing real damage, though. He and his lacky congress will soon pass another 70 billion dollar tax give-away to the very wealthiest, financed by public debt. When balance and sanity are restored (given we can override the electoral power of diebold and sequoia) we must not be deterred by whiney, peevish, and decietful complaints of “tax increase!” or “class warefare!” when we seek to undo this fiscally irresponsible rape of the public treasury.
May 12th, 2006 at 8:54 amLast chopper out of the White house (and Iraq) soon !! Very soon !!
May 12th, 2006 at 9:03 amThat latest tax giveaway to the rich tells it all…
…they’re stealing as much as they can…
…before they’re booted out…
May 12th, 2006 at 9:16 am#59…You know how its the Rosebowl brought to you by Taco Bell or whatever. I think it should officially be called …The Iraq War sponsored by Chinese Debt!
May 12th, 2006 at 9:19 amAS Colbert articulated “backwash”.
May 12th, 2006 at 9:24 am#56:
that was fun!
May 12th, 2006 at 9:25 amI hung him up by his foot for a while, then a naughty pose or two…
Screw it. He deserves it.
56#…great fun…I’ll have to send this to a wingnut I know, so he can PUSH ol chimpy up in the polls….O’liely and limpdick will pull out all the stops now to defend ‘the worst person on the planet’.
May 12th, 2006 at 9:35 amAll y’all liberals leaking stuff to the press, trying to get us killed during war, watch out! We will be listening to find out who you are.
May 12th, 2006 at 9:43 amHow long will it be before another video of Osama bin Laden plays, giving Bush credit for his security measures which have prevented an attack on America?
How long will it be before the “Terror Alert” gets raised?
How long will it be before we are attacked by “terrorists with direct links to Iran?”
May 12th, 2006 at 9:45 amSomeone observed that Dumbya is still doing real damage despite the exhaustion of his “political capital” and the rich still want to keep the Republican gravy train going while they wreck this country. The midterm elections are no sure thing and it is incumbent on all of us to continue pointing out what miserable human beings, in every sense of the word, Dumbya and his coterie are. About 70% of the population believe the country is headed in the wrong direction and that is the point that that the Republicans must try and spin–hey you are out of work? Think of all the extra free time you have?
May 12th, 2006 at 9:48 amChris Matthews: “Everybody sort of likes the president, except for the real whack-jobs, maybe on the left.â€
We should flood Matthews with this quote til the end of time…
remember he made these comments IN JANUARY 2006………when Bush’s neumbers were in the 38 - 41 percent approval
May 12th, 2006 at 10:00 amAll y’all liberals leaking stuff to the press, trying to get us killed during war, watch out! We will be listening to find out who you are.

t’Ray’torFromGA,
Damn!
…you’re still alive?
…stay right where you are, and…
…what was your address again?
May 12th, 2006 at 10:21 amThe most unpopular president in 60 years and he still is only halfwa ythrough this term. He has screwed Republicans over for at least a decade.
May 12th, 2006 at 10:28 amSay Hunter and all posters, I believe history writers will say bush is the worst president ever in the USA. Now that I have written that, may I add, it will be there for all to read providing our government isn’t into book burning by then. Add to that the witch burning times and were not far off…..I’ll be one of the first to go, along with all dissenters and any one thinking the constitution is more than just a piece of paper…….Blessings
May 12th, 2006 at 10:53 amConsidering he was once at 90%, I would say 29% constitutes a major case of FREEP FALLING:

May 12th, 2006 at 11:19 amThat criminal TRAITOR Bushiva can be adorable at times…
…today after his meeting with former Secretaries of States he made two utterly telling gaffes:
1) he stated in his post-meeting propaganda op,
“I realize some of us have our ‘disagreeances’ ‘er disagreements but…”
2) ” I want to thank all the members for coming, ‘er former Secretaries of State…”
Is this mofo a master orator or what?
May 12th, 2006 at 12:08 pmAll y’all liberals leaking stuff to the press, trying to get us killed during war, watch out! We will be listening to find out who you are.

If you are in Iraq, I hope you’re not relying on listening to my phone calls so you know when to duck.
May 12th, 2006 at 12:48 pm[…] Via Think Progress the Washington Wire. Bush Dips Into the 20s […]
May 12th, 2006 at 1:08 pmFor a laugh go to GOP Bloggers to see how they spin this result:
Perhaps they forgot the GOP has solid control of Congress as well as the White House, and Bush having a higher rating than the Congress is actually bad news for the GOP.
May 12th, 2006 at 2:00 pmCatch 22 - I just can’t seem to bring myself to venture there….too scary. that’s why I don’t have TV right now. I have enough to be outraged about!
May 12th, 2006 at 2:30 pmDon’t be too alarmed at the 29% that still support Bush. If you look at the intelligence demographics, the average intelligence of a human being is somewhere in the 95 - 105 IQ points. A third is above that, and a third, … well. There’s your 29%.
May 12th, 2006 at 3:33 pm#11 Jay Randal, for the record, Illinois is a part of the midwest and Illinois has never elected a stupid Republican. Be more specific when pointing out who’s stupid in America.
