Earlier today, I posted a report that said “incompetent” was the top word that came to mind for more than half of survey respondents when describing President Bush. Here is some supporting evidence:

Glenn Greenwald wants to know:
Just ponder the uproar if, in any other country, the political parties joined together and issued a report documenting that the country’s President and highest aides were directly responsible for war crimes and widespread detainee abuse and death. Compare the inevitable reaction to such an event if it happened in another country to what happens in the U.S. when such an event occurs — a virtual media blackout, ongoing fixations by political journalists with petty scandals, and an undisturbed consensus that, no matter what else is true, high-level American political figures (as opposed to powerless low-level functionaries) must never be held accountable for their crimes.

Stumbled across this (via Andrew Sullivan)…
Why? Because George W. Bush is God’s president, according to this website …
Yes, we can vote for George W. Bush in 2008. We have the right to write in the name of our chosen candidate, regardless of whether or not he is officially on the ballot.
We know that George Bush was God’s Candidate in 2000. We know that George Bush was God’s candidate again in 2004. And George Bush has been God’s president for the last 8 years.
Trust in God and vote your faith. Keep America safe. Write-in George W. Bush for President in 2008.

When I first saw the news that Ralph Nader had thrown his hat into the ring, I audibly groaned. Don’t get me wrong, I actually like the guy. He’s an amazingly passionate and tireless crusader for the cause of consumer safety and corporate responsibility. But, it’s hard to see him as a spoiler when he really doesn’t have a realistic chance at winning the presidency, much like the conventional wisdom after the 2000 and 2004 elections labeled him as such, at least from the Democratic point of view.
Having said that, Mike at Okiedoke provided some perspective that helped me to join Mike in saying, “Welcome to the race, Ralph.” Continued
