Happy New Year

And here's a toast . . . To the decline and fall of George W. Bush. . .

Here's something to celebrate, besides the incoming Democratic Congress. In 2006, we saw the decline and fall of George W. Bush as a president with even an iota of credibility.

According to polls conducted throughout the year by CNN, Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg, NBC News/Wall Street Journal, ABC News/Washington Post, CBS News, Gallup, and USA Today/Gallup, the President's disapproval ratings were higher than his approval ratings, for every date, for every poll, for all of 2006. Every. Single. Time.

President Clinton never came close to accomplishing this. . .

In 1993 and 1994, President Clinton was an unpopular President.

President Bush, in 2006, was not an unpopular President. He was a national disgrace. We the People were ashamed of him with perfect consistency, all year long. He's done.

And on a related note, Republican Senators are apprehensive about a surge an escalation. "Today on Fox News Sunday, Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN), the outgoing chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said President Bush should have congressional support before he announces any plan for escalation in Iraq" or things could get ugly. With the Democrats in control, things sure as hell better get ugly!
