Sunday morning armchair politicking.
Apr. 29th, 2007 07:01 amA new poll shows Bush's approval rating has dropped again, now to an all-time low of 28%. When Watergate was in full swing, Nixon's approval rating was 39%. During his impeachment, Bill Clinton had his highest approval rating - a whopping 73%, higher than Reagan ever had.
Last week Dick Cheney, whose approval rating is a hobbit-sized 9%, was heckled and booed as he went into his doctor's office. Dennis Kucinich started impeachment proceedings against Mr. Cheney last week as well, saying that he didn't chose Bush because then Cheney would be become president and he didn't think the country could handle two consecutive impeachments. Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney, indeed. I'm not being rude, I'm just throwing his own words back in his face.
Yesterday during a 25-year Law School reunion, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was heckled and protested while pictures were being taken. When the photographer was getting everyone lined up and having people say "Cheese!", the protesters yelled, "Say torture, instead!", "Resign!", and "I don't recall!". Students followed him into the library chanting 'shame' and 'resign' until his security detail whisked him away to his motorcade.
This is the end of the end, I feel. Most of the country has lost all respect for these incompetent louts. I can only hope and pray, petition the universe or whathaveyou, that we have finally learned our lesson and we will never fall for such antics again, that the horror this administration has inflicted on the world, on our country, on our citizens, on the Constitution, is never again permitted. There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.
