No? Darn. For a second, I thought Bush would be able to declare that another mission had been accomplished:

Meanwhile, Bush reached an unwelcome record. By 64%-31%, Americans disapprove of the job he is doing. For the first time in the history of the Gallup Poll, 50% say they "strongly disapprove" of the president. Richard Nixon had reached the previous high, 48%, just before an impeachment inquiry was launched in 1974.

So, The Decider has conquered yet another challenge. Word of this latest poll has spurred on another round of "LET'S IMPEECH BUSH!!1!!11" talk from the online liberal masses, but, from a purely cutthroat point of view, it's much better for the Democrats if any and all impeachment movements continue to fail miserably. Headlines dominated by a President and Vice President who are as unpopular with the American people as vegetables are with little kids will do more for the eventual Democratic nominee than any policy position, campaign ad, or sex scandal ever could. For all their bluster and rhetoric, you can bet the house that, in their private circles, prominent Donkey leaders will make 100% sure that the Cheney Administration stays firmly in place until January 2009.

After all, what's another year and a half of terrible decisionmaking at the highest level when you can win?
