Big Brother Bush has finally descended into the hell of public scorn and degradation. The once-mighty George 2, the “War President”, who towered over the global landscape after 9-11, has slumped into disrepute with the popularity-meter resting on empty.
Oh dear. Just 29% approval.
There’s no place to hide now. 6 years of demagoguery and deception have smashed the Orwellian façade and fueled the public rage. The country is on tenterhooks; one paltry incident away from a citizen revolt and massive political upheaval.
Don’t believe it? The fury of the masses is silently brewing just below the surface. The specter of violence is quite real.
Bush’s popularity is now somewhere below Nixon’s and just above venereal disease; the perfect spot for a draft-dodging poseur whose bravado cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis.
Bush managed to surpass Nixon by claiming a 71% disapproval rating; a triumph that Hitler would have admired. Still, given the 3 years left on his tenure as president, there’s room for improvement in that category as well.
As if things couldn’t get any worse for ”the Decider”, Karl Rove has just been indicted on charges of perjury.
How will the bad news affect Bush’s fragile psyche?
Will he finally crack and bolt himself inside the Capital bell-tower; grimacing and spitting at the passers by? Or will he simply wear a path in the Oval Office rug pacing back and forth like a caged hyena?
Rove is the one indispensable star in the Bush firmament. It’s Rove who stitched together the Bush persona; carefully blending religious zeal with Reagan’s rustic chumminess. Rove is the force behind our Betsy-McCall president. He’s the guy who dresses him up to lark about in military jumpsuit or to play a working class hero in flannel shirt and chainsaw. It’s Rove who perfected the pallid-faced hologram that appears whenever one turns on the TV. He chiseled Bush out of wormwood producing a character that looks to have the full range of human emotions with the exception of compassion. Without Rove, junior would still be snoozing peacefully on a barstool in Abilene rather than raining down hellfire on peaceful Muslim countries.
Now, the “shadow-president” is going down; clapped in leg-irons and frog-marched to the Washington hoosegow. Don’t expect Karen Hughes to fill the big shoes Karl Rove leaves behind..
The Bush Reich is steadily slipping towards disaster. Defeat is circling overhead like great birds of prey. As Bush’s popularity craters and key players are carted off to prison the empire of corruption, bowed-over by the accumulated weight of its war crimes, draws ever-closer to doomsday. Bush’s breathing has grown heavier and more raspy, his delivery more labored and hesitant, his demeanor more tentative and agitated. The ground has been cut out from under Bush and his cadres. In a few months they’ll be looking over their shoulders with each step as they pass silently into their bunkers.
The inescapable force of public contempt has fallen on the White House like a darkening storm-cloud. The neocon master-plan is unraveling like a spool of yarn skittering across the kitchen floor.
Bush has insinuated corruption into every molecule of the body politic. The torture and violence have removed any claim of legitimacy or moral authority. The social contract has been hacked into small bits and left to feed the crows. The government is now entirely powered by hubris and brute force, the sustenance of tyranny.
These neocons, as so superbly represented by "Duke", what depths of idiocy and degradation as they switch allegiance from Bush to the next jack off who will lie to them and use them....oh well its the gene pool.
I cannot help but think, as I read this clarion celebratory article, that it was much ado about nothing. We knew going in that Bush was an incompetent, semi literate phoney with no real grasp of issues and no ability to get important things done. We knew five years ago that Bush was elected with the complicity of the Democrats, the chicanery of the new voting machines and the stupidity of those like Duke. What really has changed?

It must be if you have the time to repeatedly post here, young man.....I guess, by the "even Hillary" remark you mean to imply that she is popular here. This shows plainly that you havent a single clue as to the political scenery, which is no surprise as you let drug addicts like Limbaugh and psychopaths like O'Reilly do your thinking for you.

The real difference between the left and the right, as represented so eloquently by you, is that we on the left do our own thinking, look at all sides of issues and make up our own minds. Drooling idiots like you get headaches when trying to think, thus must rely on the "facts" others give you, facts that are easily exposed as distortions and outright lies. But Limbaugh and O'Reilly make tens of millions on your abysmal ignorance, the nation has suffered greatly these last five years, we are anathema to the rest of the world and you are simply too bloody stupid to notice...pity.

I wonder when and where Bush is going if he is gone.....there are plenty of IDIOT'S out there to replace him...remember that DIEBOLD is entrenched....being a very complex situation I think we LOST our Government when President Wilson signed in the GREAT SCAM OF THE CENTURY The Federal Reserve Act which controls our MONEY and Controls US...and don't forget the wonderful Police State being left behind by the greatest PRESIDENT THAT EVER SAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
I will never forget that we were warned by Esenhower about the MILITARY INDUSTRAIL COMPLEX, that being parinoid does not mean they are not following you....there are many forms of INSANITY and the Bush REICH will not end with BUSH....viva la revolution

No NO NO.
Bush will be President until 2008, starting over when Bush is out is way to late.
We must begin now.
It is vital to register new voters, organize neighborhood voter education and mobilization drives, work on fundraising and get the vote out in November.
I will again predict that the GOP retains control of the Congress, but with lessened majorities.
The big opportunity for the Dems, the Greens and the other progressive forces in 06 is in the State legislatures and in the 36 states choosing new Governors.
These 36 chief executives give us our best opportunity to field test policy initiatives that will actually help the people.
It is time to quit looking for some politician to save us and time to start working to assure that Progressive have their hands on the levers of power at all levels of government and that we are actually our work of helping the PEOPLE.
