POLL: 44% OF AMERICANS WOULD LIKE BUSH BACK AS PRESIDENT. “You miss him now that he’s gone, huh, America? You kicked him when you had him, and now…” Heh. Have you noticed that most presidents look better once they’re gone?

But, really, who’d want to go back to a stupid cowboy who’d probably praise war while talking about peace, and insult Europeans with his ignorance of diplomatic etiquette? Thank goodness those days are behind us!

UPDATE: From the comments: “I think the point of the comparison is this: Bush endured 8 years of wall-to-wall, 24/7 liberal bashing from multiple networks. Meanwhile, Obama was coronated and has enjoyed wall-to-wall adoration from the same multiple networks. If Obama’s numbers, 11 months in, already approach Bush’s after EIGHT years, then, baby, you’ve got serious problems.”
