Truth to Power

Ha!

From the new Pew poll:

Currently, 48% use a negative word to describe Bush compared with just 28% who use a positive term, and 10% who use neutral language.

…The single word most frequently associated with George W. Bush today is “incompetent,”and close behind are two other increasingly mentioned descriptors: “idiot” and “liar.” All three are mentioned far more often today than a year ago. </i>

Don’t know about you, but having the leading figurehead of my country described in those terms by his citizens- no matter how right they might be- is mighty unsettling.
