You can run, but you can't hide

President Bush seems to have found himself in the midst of another shit storm. Protesters rioted today close by the Summit of the Americas meeting. Hugo Chavez says, free trade agreements go to hell.

Meanwhile, back at the Senate discussion begins again about making torture and prisoner abuse illegal: a moral no brainer if there ever was one.

Secretary of Commerce Gutierrez goes on CNN to put more lipstick on the pig otherwise known as the Bush Economy.

A new WaPo poll reports that only 40% of Americans trust President Bush. I am left wondering what that number will be if the Senate gets off its ass, does its job, and finishes part two of its investigation into pre-war Iraq intelligence.

The preliminary reports of some of Judge Alito's quirky judicial opinions seems tailor made for Democrats to drive down President Bush's approval numbers by careful and vigorous questioning about them during his hearings.

The interesting thing is that President Bush could help himself by appointing some new people to help him out, but seems loathe to do it. At this point, anyone who knew anything about formulating and implementing policy might not be interested in signing on as crew member on a ship that is sinking fast.

Picking on President Bush has always been easy for me. It's getting easier by the day.
