From this weeks' Washington Post column by Gene Weingarten:
A new poll shows that just under 4 percent of the American public approves of the job that President Bush is doing. Gasoline process have fallen all the way down to $5.45 per gallon because of the news that we have begun drilling for oil in the Grand Canyon. We have started sending people to secret CIA torture camps in Liberia on suspicion of being "foreign." The vice president and entire Cabinet have been indicted on charges ranging from loan-sharking to convenience-store robbery. To most of the rest of the world, America is regarded as a rogue state in the control of a wild-eyed madman, like Uganda under Idi Amin, who actually ate human flesh. The Republicans will still win the next Presidential election because . . .
. . . the alternative will be a Democrat, chosen after a spirited, wide-open, unbrokered, egalitarian, grass-roots, fair-and-square, completely suicidal primary process that inevitably guarantees that the last person standing will be someone with all the personality and character of a bunion.
