Al Neuharth Bashes Bush, Says His Supporters are 'In Denial' (E&P)
Al Neuharth Bashes Bush, Says His Supporters are 'In Denial'

By E&P Staff

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.


"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.'"

2. They're coming out of the woodwork now...
The writing is on the wall (note to self: not too many clichés)

3. I really respect Neuharth...
He came out about 1 1/2 years ago with an editorial against the Iraq War (when it was still popular among the sheeple.) He got death threats, was accused of being a traitor (you know, the usual repuke stuff) but refused to back down.

I admire the guy.
