The 20% club
by jpperry
When I read about something like this, it makes me wonder about those 20-or-so-per-cent of Americans who still think Bush is a good president. Are they self-deceptive, in denial, ill-informed, or some combination of the above?

Or maybe I'm way off base? I don't think I am, but if you are one of the people who approve of Bush, then please share your perspective here.

As others have pointed out, when a story like this breaks, it just proves what most of us had thought already. We didn't need proof that Bush was deceptive, it is easy enough to tell by simply listening to him, or to others in his administration, including and especially the press secretaries. McClennan is only the latest example, and frankly I'm not sure how much damage it will do because most people's opinion of the Bush administration is already so low, it's hard to shove it any lower.
