I was surprised to find this USA Today headline:
Bush deserves better than these low ratings
Could it be that America's most colorful free hotel doormat has come to its senses? Nah. The story goes on to slam him with backhanded compliments:
Most of you across the USA are turning thumbs down on President Bush. Your reasoning is right, but your timing is wrong...
Those of you who are regular readers of this column know that I strongly criticized Bush's "pre-emptive strike" in Iraq before we invaded and have long urged that we "support our troops" there by bringing them home. But ...
In my book, Iraq aside, Bush has made some of his best decisions in recent weeks. His ratings should be going up rather than down...
Iraq, of course, remains Bush's biggest blunder. It will haunt him forever unless he fires Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and brings our troops home.
If Bush "stays the course" in Iraq, his ratings will hit bottom. If he fesses up that he was wrong and gets us out, he still can salvage some of his presidency.
I'd entitle the article "Bush deserves better respect than these low-life reporters give him."
