The September 4 issue of Rolling Stone (RS1060) had an interesting article by Sean Wilentz on Bush and the GOP. I don't think I realized this but apparently Bush truly is special—he is the only president in modern times to have gone from a super high approval rating (he had the highest approval rating ever recorded for a modern president after September 11th) to having the "longest sustained period of public disapproval ever recorded" as he leaves office. According to Gallup, for his 30th quarter, he hit his lowest average approval rating—just 29%. He's been hovering in the low to mid 30s since the first of the year.
Below is the link to the article and the accompanying sidebar if you have some spare time:
And in case you needed the reminder of why his approval ratings are so low, here's a quote:
"I am a person who recognizes the fallacy of humans."

Hey Ginny, finally getting back to my blogging priorities!!
"Politely hostile" in the gyno's office---does this have anything to do with that movie "Teeth?"
no but that would put a different spin on things.
