WSJ: How they fared in their second term

[question everything]

1. He's lower than Nixon?

I thought they kept saying that only Nixon was lower. I guess they meant overall not at this point. Maybe he won't last 'til summer!

[question everything]

2. Fun to see that the impeachment did not even bend Clinton's

job approval.

Perhaps this is the model the Bushies are looking at.

3. What I still don't get...

...is why * is still higher than Nixon at the latter's lowest point!

Bush is guilty of war crimes, lying to the people and the world on things that would mean the deaths of thousands to tens of thousands, domestically and abroad, environmentally destructive policies, corruption and greed, etc....and Nixon was guilty of...paranoia??!!!

4. what a great graphic!

The WSJ's editorial pages suck major RW ass, but it's news sections are quite good. I guess the graphics department is too.

5. msnbc.com had pics of shrub and clinton each with '37%' next to them

to show that both had the same low point in approval rating.

the difference is that clinton's 37% approval came early on and he was always over 50% during his second term, when everybody knew him well.

shrub had his 88% approval back when no one knew anything about him but the lies they were spinning. now that everybody knows him, he's at 37%.


ya just don't recover from a 37% approval that's been earned over the course of 5 years.
