For countless reasons, George Bush is being hammered. Many who speak out about the lies that have led to 2,415 troop deaths in Iraq have been sledging George for more than three years when the war drums first were beating. Some started when they learned that there really were no WMD. Others joined the pummeling of the president when it was revealed that our troops have inadequate body armor. Now, more will join the pounders with this latest information that our troops are hungry, that our troops are asking Iraqis for food because our government isn't providing them enough to eat.

So, like any good mother, Karen Andoscia began sending the packaged tuna. And when she mentioned this at work, people started donating food to be sent to the hungry Marines.

My 80-year-old mother may just take the gold medal. She'll have plenty of competition. His poll number today is 33 percent.
