Wishing it was simply over

By Creature

Wish the Bush presidency was over? You're not alone. New numbers from Newsweek:

The president’s approval ratings are at their lowest point in the poll’s history—30 percent—and more than half the country (58 percent) say they wish the Bush presidency were simply over, a sentiment that is almost unanimous among Democrats (86 percent), and is shared by a clear majority (59 percent) of independents and even one in five (21 percent) Republicans.

Numbers like those above used to give me cause to happy-dance. They reflected a growing awareness of the American public to the disaster that is GWB. Today, with the tide thoroughly turned against the boy-president and his evil Dick of a sidekick, the reality of two more years just depresses the fuck out of me.

  • Yeah, Bush makes me see the genius of the Westminster system (i.e., no-confidence votes).

    And nice Ice-T reference (I assume "evil Dick" was an allusion to the Ice-T masterpiece of that name).

  • How 'bout we all click our heels together three times?

    Ready? Go...

    Damn, still here. Oh, wait, I'm in Canada. We have our own problems up here, but at least Bush isn't one of them.

    Oh, wait, he is. No one can escape the reach of the American empire. And as long as Bush is the Great Leader, we're all in trouble.
