DSM, plame, gannon, wmd's, etc

scandal after scandal, it's impossible to believe a word that comes out of this adminstration, even if you want to.

the media all decided en masse that the country couldn't take any more of monica and invented the phrase clinton fatigue and beat it like a drum throughout the 2000 election. i think we need to do the same for the '06 midterms

2. Haha I love it!!
And so does my husband. "Bush Fatigue"! Perfectly put!

So now, anytime someone grumps about the economy, "Bush Fatigue" will be our reply.

Pissed about unemployment? It must be "Bush Fatigue."

Can't afford gas? I know the cause! "Bush Fatigue!"

Military enlistments down? "Bush Fatigue"

Upset about how awful the quagmire in Iraq has turned out to be? It's obvious the country is beginning to suffer from serious "Bush Fatigue".. lolol
