thanks for your comments and cogent, well-reasoned posts, NorthernYankee
stick around we need more bloggers like you in News & Poltiics, which has been a joke for the last 2 years: no standards, no citing sources, just a Bill 'I want to felafel you baby" O'reilly reacharound.  Gross.

NorthernYankee, I just learned that GWBush has now reached 31% approval
rating, the lowest of any sitting American president, lower than Nixon at the ebb of Watergate duringhis impeachment.  Appalling, there are 2 more years left of this insanity.

A Rolling Stone...
...cover article earlier this year argued strongly that the Shrub IS the worst US president in history. And that was a concensus across a range of political comentators and historians.

And I'm with Blanche, too - it's hard to separate the "man" from his repugnant, immoral, illegal, ill-conceived, arrogant and deadly policies.

NorthernYankee, please do not take the Blogit News & Political bloggers

as a group as a statistical representation of Americans as a whole. Here in our household and in Seattle in general the zeitgeist is quite different.  We are as vehemently and vocally anti-Bush policies (note:  although it is possible to hate the sin and not the sinner, eg, separate the man from his policies, without "hating" George Bush personally, I find it difficult not feel anything but moral repugnance and disdain and contempt for the man).

I feel George Bush has set back this country 100 years, damaged the credibility of Americans abroad immeasurably, squandered the moral capital of 9/11 and the world's goodwill, and he is an embarrassing, ill-mannered hick, who has had amply opportunity to educate himself, and glorifies his ignorance with a fake, affected Texas drawl.

Oh, and I've already done my part in punishing George.  George is the name of my son's Grandfather, a descendent of the Mayflower.  My son is named Joshua.  But the pun was God's idea ---- I didn't notice it until years later.  "Just following orders, Your Almightiness, Sir!"
