A
new poll is out showing that since his interview on Meet the Press, Bush's approval rating has shown a meteoric rise from an all-time low of 49% to 52%.
Breathtaking.
At this rate all the Republicans will have to do to win the election is script an interview for every Sunday from now till Bush finds those hidden WMDs on Mars.
Bush has been taking a beating and the interview with Russert was designed to let Bush put forth his best response to his critics and all he got out of it was a measely 3%. Not looking good.
But just consider the interview the first in a long offensive that's going to last till November. In other words, prepare yourself for more headlines like this:
Bush credited for Guard drills
But time frame leaves questions
Bush's machine is working fast to spin, but, as usual, they're only giving us half the story. We can only expect more of this as time passes, and we've all got to work hard to get beyond Bush's rhetoric and keep pointing out Bush's lies.
