Where have all the chickenhawks gone?

The latest MSNBC poll shows Bush's ratings still sinking. Down to 40%, it's conceivable the president's approval could sink lower than Momma Bush's high horse, crass and insensitive remarks on minorities and the poor in the Houston Astrodome. (Nah, probably not--it can't get any lower than that.)

Sadly, however, it is worthy of note there still exists more than 1 in 3 Americans who can be labelled 'slow learners'. This is pretty frightening when you realize you may be out in public, engaged in small talk with a stranger, and that person could be one of those 38% of the learning disabled who still approve of Bush's handling of the war! Boy, I wish we could get our hands on those fine folks. Our service members would sure appreciate those asses supporting their "Mission Accomplished - Bring 'em On" war effort in the middle east right now.

My, my, it's difficult to imagine a U.S. without all the rightwing media shills. They'd be in Iraq. Think of it. "Out to Lunch!" signs on the offices of the Limbaughs, O'Reilly's, Hannity's. Can you imagine Ann Coulter in a helmet?

Or how 'bout our pro-war warriors Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Scott McClellan in a tank? Bush going door to door in Ramadi weeding out insurgents and innocent civilians in the middle of the night?

String theory physicists say their may be as many as 11 parallel universes. Who knows? Maybe Pat Robertson's manning a .50 caliber machine gun atop an unarmored Humvee driven by Jerry Falwell in one of them. We can only hope.
