Since the Idiot Prince "took responsibility"

[Puglover]

dyall think his poll numbers will rise? Could Americans POSSIBLY be so stupid?

1. I doubt it.

Well I am hoping for his ratings to go down into the 20% range because of this. But I've been hoping for that for 5 years.

2. I doubt it.

Because taking responsibility is only the first step. There are many things that need to be corrected. Bush won't go there.

Bush's handlers are just doing this out of desperation. They know the living shit has hit the fan. It's kinda like throwing in all your furniture into the fireplace to keep warm.

Acts of desperation, nothing more.

3. Honestly? Yes.

I can already hear the murmuring of the sheep: "Bush is so responsible and honest and trustworthy, blah, blah."

Oh, sorry. That should have been "baaah, baaah".

4. To little, to late.

And he didn't appear that sincere when he said it.

But what the repubs will gain from this is that by taking "responsibility" they can say the the federal gov't needs to be dismantled even more, because obviously they can't do their job.

8. i think he had no choice, and yet it will still backfire.

I say this with cautious optimism: I think the media has turn on him.
