  1. Approval rating of Congress 18% (NBC-WSJ 1/20/08-1/22/08)

  2. Maybe George could get a job at the Times and bring their ratings up a bit.

  3. In Australia, Dr Nelson’s rating is 9% - below the ALP’s worst-ever leader rating of 14%. Much has been made of this by the media. Although I retain a soft spot for Dr Nelson and praise his leadership qualities, let’s assume the media is right and he’s a failure.

    That means that among voters, 9% are Liberals too bigoted or stupid to perceive failure on their own side; five points below the 14% of voters who support Labor and are similarly impeded. Labor leads the nation in rusted-on idiots.

  4. Heh. That would explain why W’s approval rating hasn’t been trumpeted by the MSM lately.

  5. #3 Machiavellian

    Here in America, our government has a large surplus of “rusted on idiots”. Would you like some of ours? We would be most appreciative if someone would take them off our hands. They’ll need to be chiseled off the public teat first…

  6. Kind of a pity that President Bush can’t run again. A humiliating electoral repudiation in the manner of John Howard losing his seat would be a nice way to draw a line under his administration and policies.

  7. He won’t run again.  He has already agreed to replace Bob Dole as the national spokesman for Viagra. So Jefferson Skates will think of GWB every time he gets an erection.

  8. I suppose that’s better than thinking of GWB and then getting an erection.

  9. Think of Clinton: the anti-viagra.

  10. A humiliating electoral repudiation in the manner of John Howard losing his seat

    John Howard was Australia’s second-longest serving Prime Minister. So you’re saying Bush would have been elected for a third term before the electorate repudiated him by not giving him a fourth to tie Roosevelt?

    Jeez. Lefties are so enamored of dictators that they think anything less than jefe-for-life is a failure. Skatey must be one of those clowns who talks admiringly about how many U.S. Presidents Castro “outlasted.”

    How sad, never to think of GWB again. I think a Bush/Cheney 2008, Selected Once and Elected Twice would be great. The thought of democrat heads exploding around the country like popcorn in the microwave outstanding.

  13. For a country that’s the most healthy, powerful and prosperous we’ve ever been, we sure are a disapproving lot.

    My God, I think people expect no less than perpetually sunny skies and 24-hour rainbows.

    What, twice a year, like clockwork?

    Obama or McCain, one thing is sure… we’re gonna miss George…

  15. Rich M. #14, damn right. I only hope the moonbat left lives long enough to see him vindicated by history. Wait, those bastards wouldn’t know reality if it hit them in the face. Nevermind then.

  16. #12 Be of good cheer. Tell the next moonbat that you run into, “Four more years! President McCain!” Their heads pop just the same because he is a

    evil Republican!

  17. #11 A 2006 Harris poll? So little time for homework?

  18. #10 You’re right that Lefties are so enamored of dictators. The one and only Richard McEnroe (of this site/thread) has a great sign for our Friday night support the troops rally, “Democrats Abort Babies, Not Dictators.”

  22. Leftists expect far too much. Hawai’ian saying I saw on a t-shirt said “No Rain, No Rainbows.” Can’t have one without the other…

    Downtimes (Democrat majority Congress) remind me that better times are coming. The silliness of ‘the great unwashed’ & their chosen leaders will be seen for what it really is, & we’ll get some sanity back in a few years. Just gotta keep plugging along & loving Life best I can until then.
