Bush honesty rating drops to lowest point
[...]
Only 41 percent give Bush good marks for being “honest and straightforward” — his lowest ranking on this question since he became president. That’s a drop of nine percentage points since January, when a majority (50 percent to 36 percent) indicated that he was honest and straightforward. This finding comes at a time when the Bush administration is battling the perception that its rhetoric doesn’t match the realities in Iraq, and also allegations that chief political adviser Karl Rove leaked sensitive information about a CIA agent to a reporter. (The survey, however, was taken just before these allegations about Rove exploded into the current controversy.)
And oh how the Right has tried to deflect the blame from Rove, forming a veritable human shield around the Turd-blossom, all to no avail:
John Gibson yesterday:
You wouldn't send a peacenik to see if we should go to war, if we need to go to war, now would you? That's exactly what happened, as they say in the news biz, inquiring minds now want to know how the heck did this happen? Well, it turns out little wifey did it.
"Little wifey"? Ok, two things, in this case "little wifey" was also an undercover CIA agent specializing in WMDs who probably knows about 20 different ways to kill a man with a common office stapler. Second, uh yeah actually I would send a "peacenik" to see if we should go to war. If even a "peacenik" sees that there's ample evidence for it you know you've got a damn strong case for going to war. Of course this pre-supposes that one wants to avoid war in the first place, that war is seen as a last resort.
