AMERICANS OVERWHELMINGLY SEE PRESIDENT CLINTON AS BETTER THAN BUSH ACROSS THE BOARD. CNN TALKING HEADS ARE IN SHOCK

Don't get the idea that I'm a big CNN fan-- I hate them-- but I'm staying in a hotel with these huge flatscreen TVs on every other wall. So today I get back to my room, turn on the TV eager to follow up on the Dusty Foggo story and instead what I find is Wolf Blitzer hyping this new CNN poll. He's going on and on about how shocked-- shocked I tell you-- you will be to hear what CNN has discovered when they polled people about their feelings regarding President Clinton and the crooked little impostor turd who came after Clinton. (He didn't refer to Bush as a turd.) "You ain't gonna believe what we found. You will be really surprised." And then they broke for a commercial.

Well, I'd be surprised if anyone liked Bush more than Congress outside of the Old Confederacy and in a few really backward areas like Utah and Idaho. But when they came back, the "big surprise" was that everyone thinks Clinton was better than Bush on every single category... every single one of them-- from the substantive to the character issues, domestic and foreign. Wolf was surprised? No wonder CNN sucks so bad? I mean how out of touch are these guys??

And the specifics? Who handled natural disasters better? Apparently 30% of the respondents still hate President Clinton enough to answer than it was Bush. Although when it came to who handled the economy better, reality is so harsh that only 23% would choke out an answer that Bush does better than President Clinton. Taxes? All those tax-cuts and only 35% stupid enough or rich enough to think Bush did a better job. President Clinton also beat Bush on National Security, slaughtered him when they asked who was a united and who was a divider and when they asked "the character question" about trustworthiness and honesty? Bush gets the short end of the stick on this too. Makes sense to me. But CNN didn't ask me. They asked David Gergen.

"Who ever would have expected this?" pontificated Gergen. "On honesty?? Yes, you clueless, assholes. President Clinton was a serious-- albeit flawed leader. Bush is a turd. That's all he is and until the Wolf Blizters and David Gergens of the world realize that and embrace it, they will be utterly useless.
