The last time George Bush had an approval rating this poor, a bunch of Saudis hijacked airplanes and killed almost 3,000 people. George did what he was told to do to react, and his approval rating skyrocketed.
Now, I'm not about to suggest that 9/11 was orchestrated. For George, it was just dumb luck.
And I don't mind that he got into the NG because of political influence, and I don't mind that he deserted but got the evidence hidden, and I don't mind that the Supreme Court handed him is first election as Pres, and I don't mind that he and his handlers haven't yet caught OBL or Mullah Omar, and I don't mind that he took the focus off OBL to slap Saddam and snatch Iraq's oil, and I don't mind that he and his suck-water cronies lied about why they needed to kill 1600 of our young people and who knows how many Iraqis, and I don't mind his tax cuts for the wealthy, and I don't mind his underfunded "No Child Left Behind", and I don't mind his attempt to blend religious beliefs and civil government, and I don't mind his efforts to gut Social Security.

BUT....Even he can't be dumb enough to try and stage some phoney "miraculous" stunt to get the sheeple to like him again.....Can He?

Dear John:

The initial premise and pretext for your rant is flawed. Bush's approval ratings appear to have been stuck at a level lower than his pre-9/11 numbers for over a year!

Who cares? I doubt W. does, he is not running for re-election you know.

You said: "Now, I'm not about to suggest that 9/11 was orchestrated. For George, it was just dumb luck."

This has to be the most crass statement I have ever read on these forums. No big deal. Pretty much anything goes here. I am glad that you are not about to suggest that 9/11 was orchestrated.

By the way, is that little thing with you and the bottle working out OK?

I'm sure you don't really want an answer to your rhetorical question... especially from one of the sheeple. (Gotta like that, supreme contempt for the President of the United States of America and 1/2 of the voting public all in one post!) Anyway, here is my take. No, W will not stage anything. He has faults, all of which are highlighted by the media spotlight. Staging stunts to distract the national attention is not one of his faults.
