Not true!


A private poll conducted here at the home den reveals a consistent, unflagging disappointment with this President that began around the time of the vote recount in Florida and has persisted, growing only more pronounced, since then.

(Actually, I can trace it back — for me — to the racial smear campaign Team Bush used to obliterate John McCain with in the Republican primary in South Carolina. At the time, it called to mind the Bill & Hillary Clinton "60 Minutes" appearance where he swore he'd quit chasing skirts. I knew then that he was a philanderer and could reasonably be expected to remain one, and did that disqualify him from being President? I didn't think so. We've had lots of skirt-chasing Presidents who've run their national affairs at least as well as they've run their personal ones. In the same way, after S.C., I knew this Bush fella was a bad egg morally and ethically, and did that disqualify him from being President? Well, I thought "yes" but the American people were split right down the middle and the Supreme Court disagreed with me, so what could I do? I went to ground.)

If I was a proper blogger, I'd have a witty and/or inarticulate rant exposing the Truth Behind The Hypocrisy, but these days ol' Fang is more of a full-time baby wrangler, which only leaves me the energy to freak out about the most immediate outrages, and nothing surprises me any more except that people are FINALLY beginning to see through this President. It must be the political equivalent of realizing that the girl you've been dating for five years is actually a guy named Ed.

All I'm saying is, the missus sent the me the CNN screen-capture above, and I love her for it.
