Bush III

Is America turning into a monarchy? Well, Bush's approval ratings have hit the all time low of 29%, that probably rival's Herbert Hoover's ratings during the Great Depression when the poor were starving in the streets and rich financier's were blowing their brains out after the market crash, lower than that of the world's most embattled royal - Prince Charles. But then again, Prince Charles was only guilty of making love (to someone who wasn't his wife), whereas Bush is guilty of making war (on lots and lots of people). That perhaps could have something to do with it.

Now onto the case of Jeb, who Bush the other day stated would be a "great president". All Hail Jeb I. quite frankly, all Jeb has going for him is the fact that his approval ratings are higher than his brothers (not a mean feat by any means) and that he bears a strong resemblance to an older, gluttonous Henry VIII.

While the Bushs' may wish to build a dynasty, it's not going to happen barring some dramatic Rove engineered Rove-around. The most telling indicator that the Bushs are going down is the fact that Rupert Murdoch is organizing a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton. This is the Rupert Murdoch of Fox News, Hannity and Colmes, Bill O'Reilly fame. I wonder what those guys have to say about the whole thing.

An exceptionally good quote from the New York Post (a Murdoch rag)...

"The 'Dynasty' reunion got exceptionally low ratings on TV and there's no reason to think that this dynasty reunion would do any better."
