You’d hardly think that something dropped into a tub of manure would bounce, but in the strange world of American politics, that’s just what happens. If we can believe the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, despite the ever gushing geyser of negative information about Bush’s mishandling of nearly everything, despite proof that his mistakes were so often deliberate, that so many of his actions criminal, that his plan is to perpetuate war and allow our real enemies to proliferate unmolested, the cowering, timorous beastie that is America now supports Bush more than it did and believes in his war more than it did.
Nothing has helped the administration tie Saddam Hussein to the 9/11 attacks more than proof and confession that there was no link. Nothing gives him more of the image of a hero than the abject failure of all his efforts; nothing helps his appearance of honesty more than the exposure of an endless stream of lies and criminal mischief.
Perhaps it’s as the Greeks believed: that whom the gods wish to cast down, they first raise up. It’s going to be a long and hard fall.

The American people are truly stupid... they are only concerned about their own bellies and the quality of the television programming. The rest is ignored.
Don't forget the price of gas - I think that alone accounts for the resumption of support for Bush. With an election coming up, maybe a call to Prince Bandar will have prices down for a few weeks.
This sort of thing works.
