This just in: 39% of Americans still stupid

This looks like bad news for preznit, but I think it means bad news for America.

For the first time in his presidency a majority of Americans question the integrity of President Bush, and growing doubts about his leadership have left him with record negative ratings on the economy, Iraq and even the war on terrorism, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows.

On almost every key measure of presidential character and performance, the survey found that Bush has never been less popular with the American people. Currently 39 percent approve of the job he is doing as president, while 60 percent disapprove of his performance in office -- the highest level of disapproval ever recorded for Bush in Post-ABC polls.

39% are a little slow on the uptake, no?

Good thing Dear Leader doesn't pay 'tention to polls.

But he is concerned about reporters' well being.

Mr. Bush calmly added, "I understand the anxiety and angst by the press corps to talk about this." But he called the C.I.A. leak inquiry "a very serious investigation," and said that the White House is "cooperating to the extent that the special prosecutor wants us to cooperate."

"Anxiety and angst by the press corps?" Inerestin'.

Meanwhile, more ponies, this time out of O-Hi-O.
