How long before Bush's 'I don't care about the polls' act

[BurtWorm]

turns his pathetic numbers around?

That is part of the plan, you know, to act so unconcerned, even to the point of plugging ahead with immensely unpopular ideas--Bolton at the UN, privatized Social Security, saber rattling toward Iran or Syria--until the public wears down from Bush-fatigue fatigue and warms back up to him like a rotten, stinking, bacteria-infested old shoe.

So how long until The Plan works and his numbers stop sliding down and turn back up?

1. He said exactly that in the press conference last week.

2. I think they really don't care about the polls.

They're going to push ahead anyway, because that's what the corporate masters and the religious loonies are expecting.

3. I agree. I remember listening to the pundits...

on NPR, shortly after the election. They thought that Bush would temper his extremism in his second term, for his legacy's sake. I literally laughed at them.

And, with the extreme legislation he's sought to push through in his second term, I think it's obvious that the pundits are wrong. He's going to try to pay off all of those to whom he's endebted, in his second term.

Legacy schmegacy. If he were concerned about his legacy, he would not want to be remembered as the "preemptive warfare" president, and that's exactly how history will always remember him.

The bastard.

4. It's a laugh that any one thinks this Philistine cares about anything

deeper than his pockets, let alone historic legacy!
