Bush Continues To Break New Ground In Worst-Ever Presidenting

Dubya reaches another milestone!
At 39 months in the doghouse, George W. Bush has surpassed Harry Truman’s record as the postwar president to linger longest without majority public approval.
Bush hasn’t received majority approval for his work in office in ABC News/Washington Post polls since Jan. 16, 2005 — three years and three months ago. The previous record was Truman’s during his last 38 months in office.
I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that Dubya does not turn it around in office. So by my calculations, his losing streak will end up at roughly, oh, HIS ENTIRE SECOND TERM.
Buyer’s remorse: We’re soaking in it.
