The wisdom of the crowd...12 months too late

A new CBS News poll puts Bush's job approval rating at 35%, the lowest for any president at this point in the term since Nixon.

It seems to me that 15.7% of the country owes the rest of us an apology, in return for which we will promise not to waggle our fingers and say "We told you so."

By the way, Cheney's approval rating is 19%, an astounding figure since it means about 60% of Republicans are waggling their fingers at him. [Joho's pledge: All math performed in this blog is guaranteed to be flawed.] [Tags: GeorgeBush politics cheney]

In the bogus CBS polled 46% more Democrats than Republicans. Maybe liberals like yourselves should appologize for lying about Bush. P.S. get out of education.

Don't mistake approval for preference. I may not like going to the dentist, but that doesn't mean I prefer the alternative.
