Poll Sticks America's Thumb in Bush's Eye

By Zamboni

Can't wait until Bush moves back to Texas? You're not alone.

A new CNN poll reveals that 75 percent of respondents said they're glad that the Worst Person Who Ever Lived is leaving office.

Well, they didn't refer to him exactly that way — but goodness, from the numbers in the poll, we cats think they certainly could have. Forty percent said that Bush's Presidency was "poor," and 28 percent think he's the worst President in history. And here's a no-brainer: 82 percent said that he did not unite the country.

Well, except maybe in convincing us that he's been a complete and total disaster.

In our humble opinion, that could be Bush's biggest failure. After September 11, Americans were completely of one mind and looking to him for leadership. We were ready to do something — anything — to respond to the strange new world we found ourselves in. What did he tell us? "Go to Disney World." "Go shopping."

In the words of Harper Lee, "It's a sin."
