The press reports are legion about President Bush's low approval rate. That's certainly no surprise given the MSM's constantly blaming the Chief Executive for just about everything bad they can think of: gas prices, foreclosures, carbon emissions, acne.And, of course, that low approval rate can only endure if Bush gets absolutely no credit for anything, even the increasingly successful war in Iraq, the administration's outstanding impact on the African AIDS crisis, America's protection from major terrorist attacks, and so on.
But if the MSM's remarkably unfair treatment of President Bush is a large part of creating his 28% approval rating, then how does one explain the even lower approval rating of Congress though these guys generally get advantageous press coverage. That rating, by the way, is just 14%. That's the lowest since Gallup first began asking the question in 1974.
Our Congressmen and Senators (with tragically few exceptions) are so out of touch, so liberal, so lobbyist controlled, and such irresponsible spenders that the frowzy facts cannot be contained even by a favorable press.
Bad odors will out. And out they should be -- if, that is, American voters will finally begin to hold them accountable for their smelly performance.
