[Miss Marple]

Thank you for posting this. I am pinging a few people who will also appreciate it.

What a great column. If it isn't exactly so. Shame on the turncoats in Congress. Shame on the spoiled mall-shoppers in America, who cannot be bothered to support their troops (although they claim to love them).

Thanks for posting this.

I actually started to cry half way through this.

What a wonderful way to start the day. This column is a keeper. Thank you for thinking of me, Miss Marple. I hope POTUS reads it. :0)

BUMP for a later read.

It looks like a fascinating article. Thanks, Miss Marple.

MM thanks for the ping, and Ray thanks for posting it:

"The day of the speech (1/23), a Washington Post/ABC News poll announced that 52% of Americans disapprove of Bush's handling of terrorism, when we have not suffered a single terrorist attack in the over five years since 9/11 - and that 57% disapprove of his handling of the economy."

That means that 57% of Americans are clinically deranged. On every measure - the stock markets, corporate profits, employment, inflation, spendable income, take your pick - the US economy is doing astoundingly well. How can people possibly disapprove? Yet they do. Because they are spoiled brats."

There's an old saw that says in a democracy, voters get the leaders they deserve. Bush disproves it - for in him, voters are getting better than they deserve. If they got what they deserved, they'd get Hillary Clinton, and may very well in 2008."

My tagline sums up the clinical derangement of the Bush Haters on both sides.
