One excellent thing about Kyle Sampson.
He's from Utah, still the reddest state in the nation (though slipping). With him from Utah, the news about GonzoGate has been front page news every day since he resigned. Front page news in the State that needs it most!

1. Interesting
It's a story of great interest because it's a hometown fellow. But the people of Utah are also getting quite an education.

I take it that this is what you mean. In that kase - kewl! ;)

4. That voice, that voice. He really thought he could go all "John Wayne" in front of Congress,
He ended up going Rob Schneider on them. MKJ

8. Pfaa! That's what I noticed, too
He's got the typical "weasel voice", sort of a cross between Steve Buscemi and Roman Polanski in "Chinatown".

5. Yes, an early Jesus Camp graduate with Senator Orrin Hatchet-job as a mentor
...on how to lie and keep a straight face

7. Hatch is one of the smoothest liars
in the United States Congress. I would assume he's an Elder in the Mormon church. That would make him prevaricator squared; a man steeped in iniquity.

6. I've heard his support is falling but I've not seen any recent polls
seems Survey USA stopped tracking or publishing polls on Bush approval by state in November 2006. Am I just missing something?

13. Not too long ago approval of the war went below 50% in Utah. I think his approval rating is hovering
right around 50% here in Utah. During the 2004 elections, it was at 75%.

14. I saw a poll last week that put support for the war in Utah at 44%
down from 70% in January 2006. I just haven't seen anything on Bush since last November when it was 55%. I would imagine support for the war and support for Bush would track the same but when it comes to trying to figure out what the good christians of utah will think about something...I've given up trying to figure it out. hence I was curious if Bush's approval had dropped as low as approval for the war.

I just want to know when it will be safe to say "F Bush" at work. (or words to that effect)
