Truth to Power

Too late, King George

Bush seeks to build standing with public

CHICAGO – The president who loves to get home to his own bed is planning more nights on the road.

It’s part of a public-relations effort aimed at boosting President Bush’s low standing in polls and bolstering the chances of the Republican Party he leads in this fall’s midterm elections. The idea is to place Bush in more freewheeling settings where he comes across best and before local media that tend to give softer coverage.</i>

To which TTP responds, with a hattip to the serious indie dude:

“Too late, King G-X085”
