Bush: "Ah, those were the good old days."

[Flabbergasted]

"A year ago, my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn, and my vice president had shot someone," Bush told a journalists' banquet Wednesday night. "Ah, those were the good old days."

Battles on two fronts carry risks for Bush
President confronts Dems over unpopular war, U.S. attorneys

(03-30) 04:00 PDT Washington -- President Bush went to the Capitol on Thursday to rally Republicans behind his veto threat, confident that when push comes to shove, Democrats will remove their call for a withdrawal from Iraq from a bill to fund American troops in combat.

Yet even as Bush spoke, he faced a second major front in his confrontation with Congress. The former chief of staff to embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales told an oversight committee that Gonzales, contrary to his own statements, was deeply involved in the firing of eight federal prosecutors.

As he has throughout his presidency, Bush is choosing a high-risk path. But in the seventh year of his tenure and the fifth year of an unpopular war, and facing an opposition Congress and questions about the competence of his administration, he might not prove as resilient as in the past.

(I think we could knock this ass on his ass with impeachment proceedings)

1. Its my sincere wish that Bush will be correct

and that he'll be looking at 2006 as the good old days very shortly. Preferably through a window with metal bars.

2. Yes. His good times are all gone.

Get that bad monkey behind bars.

3. Maybe he is just as amazed as we are...

That he is still in office.
