DOWN TO 33 PERCENT, TIME TO BLAME THE DEMOCRATS FOR FOLEY'S PEDOPHILIA

With less than a month until the elections, a Newsweek poll finds the Bush administration's approval rating at a mere 33 percent, his hemorrhaging credibility is sucking strength and vitality from the state and federal foot-soldiers of the Repiglican Party so much that the Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives is all but a foregone conclusion.
Although House Speaker Dennis Hastert has thus far refused to resign his seat, that may be more political posturing than promise to the party faithful, particularly in light of the president's recent sound bite supporting him. And we've seen that means-- when Bush went on the tube telling the head of FEMA what a great job he'd done in the wake of Katrina, right before he was fired. And with his present approval numbers, the president's support is akin to the kiss of death, rather like getting high praise in seamanship from the captain of theTitanic.
But with the elections so close, Hastert may be saved having to fall on his sword for the good of the party in that voters in his district could send him toddling off into obscurity. ... Personally, I hope he has to fall on his sword..... not that it will do any good. With Bill Frist retiring, Tom Delay under indictment and Hastert under fire, the Repiglican leadership is crippled and weighted down by an idiot in the Whitehouse. To steal a line from James Brown; I feel gooood!!
