1. What a giant pantload of crap. They equate >>>
>>> the stuff that led to only 17% of the people believing the country is heading in the right direction-- which is really due to the social and economic malfeasance of the Bush admin-- with natural disasters like flooding and earthquakes. Then they make a point of the "democratic-led" congress having a worse approval rating than Bush.

Anyone familiar with the writers: Alan Fram and Eileen Putman?

2. It wsn't so much the "natural disasters",
it was the "response" to them (or lack of meaningful response) that puts therm in the Bush column of man-made disasters.

"and it's even worse for the Democratic-led Congress." I read a bit too hastily, and that fatuous statement eluded me. Sorry. But it's the sort of "career insurance" that many media types use to establish "balance". (Think: "earning a Brownie-Point" from Da Boss.)
