Poll dance

Beebe yes, Bush no: That's the result of a poll by Global Strategy Group of Arkansas published this a.m. on Roby Brock's Talk Business blog. The poll, of 608 state voters, produced a 58 percent approval rating for the governor and 34 percent for Bush. (Bush's rating here matches his numbers nationally.) Only 8 percent were negative about Beebe; a decisive 49 percent gave thumbs down to the Decider's decisions.

The state legislature? A 41 percent positive rating.

I am not surprised that Blank Lincoln has a higher negative rating than the Arkansas Legislature and everyone else rated except George Bush. Have any political scientists ever correlated negative approval ratings with politician IQ?

You should run that "BushLegacy Report Card" I linked above in the paper, Max Brantley.

It rocks pretty hard...

I get Hillary hate e-mail nearly everyday from Republican friends and family.

I don't understand why my mailbox isn't stuffed daily with Bush jokes and criticism this guy has "F"-ed up so badly.

It seems the Hillary hate fire burns brighter than the Bush hate.

This dude has seriously wrecked everything he has touched.

Hillary ain't wrecked anything yet, but they hate her so.
