From our friends over at
Common Dreams comes
this gem by David Rossie. Snark is as snark does, my friends:
News item: San Francisco--George Bush, beloved by some as just plain folks, but scorned by elitists who consider him too shallow and unstatesmanlike, was unceremoniously reduced in rank Wednesday by the National Association of Presidential Scholars.
News to you?? Rossie continues:
Wednesday's outcome completed a stunning five-year turnaround during which the 43rd president went from being hailed as the new Churchill, with a 90 percent approval rating, to the subject of debate among his own party members as to whether he is stupid or simply distracted. His approval ratings, meanwhile, have descended into the middle-30s and his dwindling support concentrated mainly among evangelicals who accept his contention that he is God's messenger boy.
I won't give away the gist of the piece; it's worth discovering on your own. I will add, though, that, where Dubya goes, Count Dickula cannot be far behind:
Meanwhile, a parallel debate has arisen over what if any effect Bush's reclassification will have on Vice President Dick Cheney.
Go. Read. Chuckle.
