No Time Like the Present

Now, here's a person who is more hated than dubya telling people that people really do like dubya. According to Knight Ridder Washington Bureau:

"The American people like this president," White House political guru Karl Rove said last week. "People like him. They respect him. He's somebody they feel a connection with. But they're just sour right now on the war. And that's the way it's going to be. And we will fight our way through."

Excuse me? When does Rove talk have any merit whatsoever outside of earshot of dubya himself? As far as I can tell, it doesn't. People hate the lying sack of excrement more than they hate his dubya puppet.

Rove says people are just "soured" on the Iraq War. Well, NO SHIT SHERLOCK! (Happy Birthday, Arthur Conan Doyle.) I, for one, was soured on the Iraq war before it was an Iraq war. I couldn't imagine how the hell this administration could venture into a foreign country, invade it with shock and awe force, and do so based on forgeries. We in blogosphere knew the Niger documents were forgeries well before the invasion. But, mainstream media refused to carry that news, and for that I lay most of the blame for this quagmire. But, for all the blame, I hate dubya and this neocon regime even more. But, I digress....

This Knight Ridder story expounds upon dubya's falling ratings, pointing out that much of the fall is because he isn't even liked as a human being anymore:

It's not just the way he's doing his job. Americans apparently don't like President Bush personally much anymore, either.

A drop in his personal popularity, as measured by several public polls, has shadowed the decline in Bush's job-approval ratings and weakened his political armor when he and his party need it most.

"When he loses likeability, the president loses the benefit of the doubt," said Dennis Goldford, a political scientist at Drake University in Iowa. "That makes it much harder for him to steer."

Aides in the president's circle say Bush still has it. They suggest that his likeability will serve as a get-out-of-trouble card no matter how mad people get about the war in Iraq or other woes.

Aides in the president's circle have about as much credibility and likeability as the dubya cockroach himself, not to mention the rove cockroach. They all have their collective pea brains up where da sun don't shine. And, that's a fact. As far as I can tell, people are finally starting to see dubya for the lunatic buffoon that he is. How they got duped into believing his crap in the first place is another story, one for the shrink's couch. But sometimes, it takes a while, and for those who have finally seen the light, I am happy for them. Maybe now we can maybe, maybe move on to IMPEACHMENT proceedings against dubya and his heartless wonder.
