Pushing the Envelope

Lauren

If we isolated the last two weeks and replaced Bushco with the Clinton administration, everything done exactly the same, the Republicans would be all over Clinton like stink on shit. That Bush has a 46% approval rating for the handling of the hurricane crisis is un-fucking-believable.

Amanda expresses my thoughts quite nicely.

  5. This is way worse than Watergate. Watergate was a lot of things, but what it wasn’t was neglecting to save the lives of 10,000 Americans and then blowing it off to go play around on the gee-tar.

  7. I heard a few days ago on some blog or other that a CNN poll said 90% of those taking the survey were disapproving of the way this was handled….

  8. If Clinton did the things that Bush has done… oh there is an imaginative question. I can see Hannity spewing bile about “letting Terri Schiavo die” and “getting us into Iraq with no exit strategy” and “high gas prices” and “levee funding” and “rapid response” and “supreme court nominees” and… oh they would be red in the face from the complaining. That is why I can’t stand the talking heads, they aren’t “fair and balenced,” they are just political hacks that hate democrates and love republicans. And there are just TOO MANY of those talking heads on TV for me.

  10. My impression of You Americans is that questions homologous to “Do you approve of the President’s handling of the crisis?” actually translates to something like “Do you approve of the way that the living embodiment of the nation handles this crisis?” or in other words, “Do you Love America during this crisis?” So even if a lot of people disapprove, they have to say they approve.

    Now of course the obvious objection is that it’s unlikely that they’d have given Clinton that much rope. But remember that the entire attack on Clinton is that his Bodily Impurity made him unfit for the mantle of Living Embodiment of the Nation. For many Americans, personal purity and public piety count for more than policy, even if it kills people.
