How's yer boy doin' on Rasmussen?

41. He's polling almost exactly the same among Democrats and
Independents. Almost all of the drop is among Republicans (dropping from
86% approval to 70% approval)...which means it's retaliation over the UAE
deal. The only other time he fell that low among Republicans was with
the
Miers nomination...and he quickly rebounded strongly from that mistake.

Just curious, what do you think a Cheney indictment will do to Bush's
numbers? Remember Fitzgerald?

I'm hoping Cheney steps down, so that Bush can appoint a VP who will be the
frontrunner for the Republican nominee in 2008. Perhaps Jeb. ;-)





When the fireworks start with Iran, the reasons for the Dubai deal will
become apparent...and all will be forgiven. (Hint: Strait of Hormuz,
Tunb
islands, and protecting the shipping channel)

You are the eternal optimist. Here's an interesting read for you:

Thanks.

But as the article says: "You can never assume that just because a
government knows something is unviable, it won't go ahead and do it."

As unattractive as the options are, they're still better than a nuclear
Iran.
