There's Good News and Bad News

There’s bad news for the White House.

The administration and its right wing supporters had to go all out in supporting Lincoln Chaffee for U. S. Senate in the Rhode Island Republican primary. They won and they’re gagging.

They also have to support the Independent candidacy of Joe Lieberman for Senate in the general election. I don’t think he’ll win. They’ll be sick but relieved.

I heard el Rushbo describe both men as nowhere near to being moderates but rather dyed in the wool LIBERALS. The president’s right flank never eases up on him.

As soon as the president opens his mouth, the Democrats lambaste him. Nobody’s afraid of the big bad wolf any longer. Tying Iraq to the war on terror is now a non-starter among the two thirds of the population that sees through the baloney.

The troops and junior officers on the ground know that Iraq and Afghanistan are not going according to plan. They no longer believe their promotion seeking generals who see progress everywhere.

Two thirds of the electorate believes that the president was playing politics by mouthing his stay the course mantra on the fifth anniversary of the attacks of 9/11.

There’s good news for the White House.

One third of the voters still believe in George Bush, the Republican led Congress, the Tooth Fairy and in connecting Iraq to al Qaeda.

While the president cannot leave his bubble, he can work out and rest to his heart’s content. He’ll be in perfect physical condition to clear brush in Crawford come January 20, 2009.
