The Public’s Disenchantment
October 6th, 2005

No one says it better than Thomas Oliphant… In his Friday column in the Boston Globe, Oliphant picks apart Bush’s poor showing in the polls (see Ron’s earlier post on the polls), his speech today and the “public’s disenchantment with this mess .”

Here’s a few quips:

SINCE WE ALL know — from President Bush himself, no less — that he is such a selfless leader that he never even peeks at opinion polls, let’s take a naughty glimpse at the latest anyway.

This stuff is from Zogby International, and it’s current. On the fighting in Iraq, Americans who think Bush is doing a good or excellent job are just 36 percent of the sample. Those who say fair or poor are now above 60 percent — 63 to be precise.

Those numbers don’t come close to explaining why Bush has suddenly become vocal again on security issues — the Rose Garden (twice) and the Reagan Building (once) having been the sites of speeches just in the last week.

2. Proving that Bushies efforts at Damage Control is too Little too Late

Ship badly listing and taking water....unable to implement a solution to problem...Engine room flooded, losing steam....Black Gang coming topside...wipers and oilers are pissed. Communication room have no electricity, emergency generator still on loan in NOLA....using Flares...no responses...passing ships think Bush is celebrating...

Lifevests are in poor condition...many missing....

LifeBoats are in very poor condition....many are not launchable...

Damn.....

4. the rose-colored glasses are off

people are finally starting to see that piece of shit for what he is. I would say come, opi, we go celebrate but I feel very bitter and angry about what it has cost in lives and in America's reputation and in our futures.
