*NEW YORK* USA Today founder Al Neuharth, once known for his generally

Republican views, appears to have seen enough of President Bush. In

his column today for USA Today, he once again hits the Iraq war (he is

one of the few mainstream journalists to favor a quick withdrawal),

then notes the presient's approval rating having plunged from 71% to

34% in the Gallup poll since 2003.

 

" How low can Bush's approval rating go? My hunch is it's at or near

the bottom, " he suggests. " That 34% represents mostly unshakeable

far-right wingers. Like Bush, Vice President Cheney and company, they

are in denial. As were the 24% in the polls who still approved of

President Richard Nixon before he resigned in disgrace.

 

" What happened to the 37% who have switched from pro-Bush to anti-Bush?

They finally realized they were suckered by Bush and his buddies back

then about Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons of mass destruction, his

tie to terrorists and his threat to the USA. "

 

Neuharth, a decorated war veteran, concludes: " President Abraham Lincoln

was right when he said: 'You may fool all of the people some of the

time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you

can't fool all of the people all of the time.' "

 

--

" Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government

talking about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court

order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about

chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order

before we do so "

-George W. Bush, April 20, 2004
