Headin' home the other night, I spied a rag-tag band of protesters on the corner of Robertson and Santa Monica Boulevard waving banners high urging that George Bush be impeached...
The rally was strategically-placed, what with Hollywood's Power Brokers supping just down the street a hop-and-a-skip away at the trendy watering hole, The Ivy.
Spies inform me that somewhere down on Crescent Heights, just off the Boulevard, there's also a fresh gang of anti-Bushers ready to sign you up for the push towards impeachment.
Well, it's a last-ditch effort to out the President from the Oval office on the heels of a recent poll which indicates that Mr. Bush's job approval rating is the lowest point in his Presidency to date, according to Associated Press.
Ah, there's always someone around to seize the day!
According to the pollsters, if you look into the mirror and staring back at you is a white, conservative, Republican - an Evangelical who faithfully attends Church Service each week - then you are a George Bush supporter.
Frankly, I'm always amazed when I am out in public and all around me voters are complaining about Mr. Bush - whether it be in respect to the troops in Irag, his alleged corrupt cronies, or abuses of the Patriot Act.
Someone voted for him, I expect. After all, he's in office.
But who will admit?
The poll states that among all age groups the Prez's highest approval comes from the 40's set (that lets me out) and from those who are White and Hispanic (ya got me there).
And, rural folks (nay) warm up to him more than the City Dwellers do.
When it comes to the individual, those who have coupled are more fervently in support.
But, from a territorial perspective, voters in the South and West like the man better, though just by a sliver, or two.
Overall, just one in three Americans give him the thumbs up for a job well done.
Hands down, though, he is experiencing a crushing loss of support with respect to job approval in the political arena: although two-thirds of the Republicans support him, there are no Democrats left waving the Elephant flag.
What will George W's legacy be?
The Jury is still out...
