VIDEO - GOP Spin: Bush's Low Polls Actually 'Good News'

On this week's edition of PBS's Washington Week, L.A. Times political reporter Doyle McManus provided analysis of Bush's record low poll numbers.

Doyle relates talking points that were being pushed on him by a Republican operative. Putting a delirious spin on the Bush's low ratings, the GOP says that "those polls were actually good news because the President's popularity has bottomed out. It has stabilized..."

While rolling her eyes, Washington Week moderator Gwen Ifill replies, "I'm dizzy from that spin, I think."

2. yeaaaah.. that's the ticket

[Ganja Ninja]

3. Good news for Bush.

Everyone hates him but at least there's no lynch mob gathering in front of the White House ..... yet!

4. Let's make it GREAT news - by having them drop even more.

[NewJeffCT]

6. That was my thought?

what happens if Rove gets indicted in a month or two? And, Iraq's civil war escalates even more?

And, a few polls show Bush in the upper 20s?

Then, how do they spin it?

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. The RW talkshow whores will keep spinning it even if it's single digits

It should be fun to watch.

5. Dear Lord....

It's the "No Place to Go but Up" defense.

[DainBramaged]

7. SO, will Bush the decider decide to watch the polls?

[Notoverit]

9. Gwen, dizzy? My, my - from such a good spinner herself!

I remember her acrimonious question in the primaries 2004 - no diziness then!

[DemReadingDU]

12. Yeah, Bush's numbers are in equilibrium with

the IQ of his supporters.
