"Sending Out the Smite Squad" (Time; 4-5-04)

[H2O Man]

There are eight articles in this week's Time magazine that are going to hurt bush with "mainstream" American voters. My favorite is from Joe Klein's In the Arena: "Others have dealt with the fundamental inaccuracies of Cheney's statements. I'm more concerned about the snide, dismissive, undignified quality of the Vice president's performance.He set the ugly, personal tone for the week, for the coordinated attacks on Clarke's character and motives. (The merits of Clarke's case were confirmed by the paper trail unearthed by the 9-11 commission's staff.) But the public seems to have tired of the Vice President's act. According to a Fox News poll last week, Cheney has an approval rating of 35%....." This is the 3rd example of the main stream media reporting "bad news" for the administration. The importance of this happening at this time should not be overlooked or dismissed.

1. Let's hope it continues

No wonder the admin kept Cheney in hiding these past three years. It's a sign that Bush is in trouble when they have to parade Cheney out there to do the dirty work.

Now Bush and Cheney are going to give a joint testimony to the 9-11 commission. What are they going to do? Hold hands? LOL
