In Bush We Trust?
"George W. Bush is a liar."
"There, I said it -- the 'L' word. Someone in Washington had to."

- - John Moyers, editor-in-chief of TomPaine.com.:

"Presidential Brain Karl Rove must be worried. Rove knows that any president's popularity rests more on whether voters think he's a believable and admirable leader than on the substance of issues. George W. Bush has that going for him - people might not like his policies (if they understand them at all), but they like his swagger and certitude, and they trust him to do what he says.

"But that trust could crumble if questions linger about whether the White House deceived us into war. Few of the president's allies could or would defend that - even GOP-TV (a.k.a. Fox News) would have trouble explaining away that one."

Puh - I wish. Though I'm sure it would go something like You Live Your Life's "Presidental Jeopardy".
