If you look like him, you could be a real Bushie

So. I'm sorry to report that President Bush's most loyal supporters look just like him: White, male, middle-aged and slightly stupid (sorry guys, I calls 'em like I sees 'em).

Yes, just as white, middle-aged men everywhere were recovering from Karl Rove's rapping and dancing routine, an AP-Ipsos poll delivered yet another blow to the already culturally maligned group when it revealed that they are more likely to be supporters of Bush than, well, almost anyone else.

If you're conservative, an evangelical Christian, white and in your 40s, you could be a Bushie. Live in a rural area? Married? From the South or the West part of the U.S.? Go to a church at least once a week? Then you're more likely to support both the president and whatever it is he thinks he's doing in Iraq.

Perhaps you hadn't realized this until now. Go ahead. Take a moment. You may start shrieking like a schoolgirl at the sheer horror of it all. It's OK -- no one will hold it against you. I felt the same when I found out that I agreed with a couple of things Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich said recently. Such are these times of chaos and madness.

I promise that if I ever see the dark day when I agree with that boney GOP mouthpiece whose name I won't mention -- you know, the blond broad who looks like a D.C. prostitute -- I'll start cutting and snorting lines of Drano crystals. Back to the July poll... .

I couldn't wrest a full set of results from the tightly clenched fists of the folks at The Associated Press' polling department (I tried), but fortunately, the AP story breaking down the results was a hoot on its own. It quoted a Columbia University poli-sci prof, Robert Shapiro, who says, "Bush's strongest Republican supporters probably won't abandon him unless there is a major scandal."

Oh. A major scandal. COME ON.

I say this not to Mr. Shapiro, who I'm sure is correct in his estimation of Bush backers. The all-capped exasperation is aimed at the fact that he's probably spot on.

These guys remain supportive despite the fact that Bush's administration is stinkier than hot garbage...
