Poll question: How low will his polls go? How will the UAE port issue affect GWB?
Okay, time for some macabre humor. As Jon Stewart would say, we're just in blue alert so we can still laugh about this.

So, how low will his polls numbers go by the end of February? I'm putting a time limit because my guess is this is just the beginning of a tide that will lead to impeachment. So, assuming his lowest poll number was 39%, how will this UAE port issue affect GWB?

1. I said below 35% --- even the GOP rank-n-file think this deal stinks...

2. I think people will care...
...for about five minutes and then something else will pop up.

Civil war and deepening quagmire for the chimp.

6. If there was another attack, his poll numbers would go negative
people see this selling of the ports as a betrayal, I think.

7. If ever George W. needed a distraction, it's now.
Nobody has seen Cheney this week, so who knows what type of disaster he's working on?

Hurricane season isn't here yet, so that's not doable.

Earthquakes are nice, but impossible to trigger.

A meteor hitting California would be perfect, but we don't have the technology to make that happen.

Is it possible that the Big Dick is on the phone with people capable of launching some kind of catastrophe against us? Hmmm, let's see: bringing down a bridge, or a building, or blowing up a tunnel or a chemical plant would sure cause a distraction.

Nah, I'm being too cynical here. The Big Dick wouldn't be involved in anything like that, would he?

8. Finally gets burned by fire he's been playing with for years...
French-looking John Kerry
John Kerry will seek foreign "approval" to defend US
Old Europe
Freedom Fries
You're either with US or with the terrorists...

I'm too mad to think of any of the other instances.

Don't feel guilty, let the Boy-blunder burn a little longer.

10. I'm guessing his numbers will drop a few points, then...
Republican survival instinct will find a way to blow this one away ASAP.

Just like all the other Shrub-killer issues we spent out hopes on.
