Spin This, Wingnuts

Oh, how Chimpie must be screaming up and down the aisle in Air Force One, pulling out hanks of hair and slamming tray-tables in front of quaking staffers. The poll just issued by USA Today is devastatingly negative, and the killer stat has got to be this:

• A 53% majority say they trust what Bush says less than they trusted previous presidents while they were in office. In a specific comparison with President Clinton, those surveyed by 48%-36% say they trust Bush less.

By twelve points, they trust Clinton--Clinton who was impeached, Clinton who lied about Monica Lewinsky's prodigious fellatio technique, Clinton who lied to Hilary, but who never lied us into war, or lied about lying us into war, or who had a chief staffer indicted for lying about outing a CIA agent--more than Chimpie! Amazing!

This is just wonderful, because even though the Republican held House and Senate will not life a finger to hold Chimpie accountable--yet--the American people are finally waking up from their long stupor of hope that people in power will be truthful if they say they are. Psych! All politicians, all leaders, must earn their credibility every fucking day, every fucking day, by being straight with those they serve.

Or else.
