New Poll: Bush And Congress Both At Astonishing Lows

A new NBC/Wall St. Journal poll released this evening has President Bush at a horrible 29%-66% approval-disapproval rating. Congress, however, is even worse off at 23%-64%.

Wow. You're polling behind Bush. You know, I have to hand it to you, because I was pretty sure that was territory reserved for Big Time.

How does that capitulation bill feel now? Feel really great about not having to deal with that criticism you were so scared of when you sent King Bush his blank check for his war?

You know what you should be afraid of? Abandoning the promises you made to the people who put you into the majority in the first place.

You promised us you'd bring accountability to the White House, and end the war. Well, some of you in the House are doing a good job sending out subpoenas and holding hearings; that's a good start. But you. Have. Blown. It. on the war, and now I have a very serious question: what do you intend to do about it?

I want to believe in you again. I really, really do.
