Well,
this piqued my interest:
John Prescott has given vent to his private feelings about the Bush presidency, summing up George Bush's administration in a single word: crap.
Well, if only Democrats would have such balls.
Something tells me that Mr. Prescott will be seeing a nice bounce in his own approval rating over the next few days. The sad thing is that any Democrat (other than maybe Ben Nelson) could see a similar up-tick if he/she made a similar comment that was "leaked".
Mr. Prescott is also known to have used the word "crap" in relation to political events before. Earlier this month, he angrily rejected claims that he could resign over the row about his links to the bid by the tycoon Philip Anschutz for a super-casino at the Millennium Dome as "a load of crap".
Aha. So Bush can't feel all that bad--at least he's not a "load of crap". There's something to be proud of.
The Guardian has more:
But the view Mr. Prescott expressed privately is standard among Labour backbenchers and is held widely in the cabinet.
...and among 60% of Americans--the very people he most subjects to his incompetence.
So how do we convince one of our Dem Presidential hopefuls to utter such a wonderful characterization?
