Five Year Ago Today

If you have the stomach for it, here is a video of Bush landing on the carrier deck and prancing around in his flight suit.


This would be hilarious stuff if it wasn't for the fact that 4064 American troops have died so far as a result of the Bush Regime's colossal fuck-up in Iraq.

Here's what White House Press Secretary Dana Perino had to say yesterday about all this:

"[W]e have certainly paid a price for not being more specific on that banner."

God help us.

And, by the way, check this out:

A new poll suggests that George W. Bush is the most unpopular president in modern American history.

A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Thursday indicates that 71 percent of the American public disapprove of how Bush his handling his job as president.

"No president has ever had a higher disapproval rating in any CNN or Gallup poll; in fact, this is the first time that any president's disapproval rating has cracked the 70 percent mark," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

"Bush's approval rating, which stands at 28 percent in our new poll, remains better than the all-time lows set by Harry Truman and Richard Nixon (22 percent and 24 percent, respectively) but even those two presidents never got a disapproval rating in the 70s," Holland added. "The previous all-time record in CNN or Gallup polling was set by Truman, 66 percent disapproval in January 1952."

What I find most amazing isn't the record-low disapproval rating, but the fact that 28% of Americans actually approve of the job Bush is doing. That's nearly one-third of the country.
