Grrr
It takes me about 20 seconds of watching network news before i get into a bad mood. NBC News this morning: "With the Iraqi elections only two weeks away, the Bush administration appears to be engaged in a campaign to lower expectations." WTF? Whose expectations are they talking about? The mainstream media has been on their own campaign to lower expectations about Iraq for the last two years.
The NBC reporter also made a point of saying that Bush's approval ratings are currently lower than Reagan's or Clinton's at similar points in their presidencies. Now, Bush is certainly not "the great communicator,"* but i have an idea how Bush can get his approval ratings to match the spike in Clinton's ratings after January 21, 1998. Bush should get a blow job!

* U. S. Grant or Andrew Johnson might have been less articulate than Bush . . . but only when they were drunk.

I don't know Annika, it sounded to me like you were volunteering for the job too!
On a side note, whats the deal with those birth control commercials - the "there she goes" ones? I won't go into it here as I have a post on it Pursuit of Happiness, but isn't that a strange jingle for something that is supposed to limit pregnancy?

Who(?) would do the honors? This is critical to achieving... maximum... approval ratings!
How would each of these impact Bush's... approval ratings?
1. Skank Woman
2. Phyllis Schlafly
3. Angie Harmon
4. Kennedy(I meant the VJ-- but pick your own)
5. Bo Derek
6. Barbra Streisand-- since its not cool to joke about forcibly raping Barbra, Bush could pull this off by blackmailing Barbra with threats of future ecological atrocity-- or threats of opening up Malibu for oil exploration, et al.
7. Mary Tyler Moore-- Bush could blackmail with threats of wholesale lobster slaughter.
8. Brigitte Bardot-- Bush threatens to personally shock and awe baby seals.
9. Hillary! THE ULTIMATE! Bush's approval ratings skyrocket as he succeeds where Bill failed. What is the bait/blackmail? Hmmmm... a simple lie about Bush's willingness to support Hillary in some area. A man who's not willing to lie for increased approval ratings simply doesn't want them bad enough.
