Yellow Dog Blog: Questions For Those Still Approving of Bush

I wrote a wise-guy column a couple of months ago in which I made fun of people who still give President Bush a positive approval rating. Judging from the reaction I got, it made a lot of liberals laugh and many conservatives very angry – so it was a success.

The latest New York Times/CBS News Poll, taken December 2-6, shows Bush's approval rating languishing at 40 percent.

And, with so many people in my own Nebraska-based family among those still blindly supporting the president, I've come up with more questions. But this time, my inquiries are serious and meant to truly gauge whether Bush backers understand reality and knowledgably support him or whether the president has just been phenomenally successful at superimposing his face over the American flag.
