Who needs Congress to rubberstamp the obvious?
George W. Bush has become estranged from the hearts and minds of most Americans, and that makes him the lamest of lame ducks. Consider a CBS News poll released this week in which 33 percent approve of the job he's doing. CNN's latest poll has him at 32. If gas prices keep rising, and if testimonials to Bush's deception regarding every major policy initiative since 2001 keep appearing in books--the latest is from whistle blower Clark Kent Ervin, fired from his post as inspector general of Homeland Security for saying the Homeland is vulnerable--it's easy to imagine Bush's ratings sinking into the 20s.

1. fired ... for saying the Homeland is vulnerable
Duh, isn't this a given. They are just now thinking about adding a little security to our ports. They didn't put any money behind their bluster. In many localities the sheriff's departments actually had less money for real policing, because they were told to put it into other, more meaningless, adventures. Even Tommy Thompson couldn't figure out why the terrorists didn't hit our completely exposed food/water supplies.
