As for umpires, surprisingly, eight out of 10 people surveyed by The Associated Press and America Online believe baseball umpires do either a "good job" or an "excellent job." This despite a handful of highly controversial calls during the playoffs the past two weeks.

If only the commander in chief enjoyed similar confidence from the American people. In the most recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, Bush's overall approval rating fell to 39 percent, with 58 percent of the American people saying they disapprove of the job he's doing. This in less than a year after being re-elected to the Oval Office.
The war in Iraq, the federal government's lackadaisical response to the plight of Hurricane Katrina victims, the mushrooming national debt and the president's choices for the Supreme Court are all cited as causes for the collapse of his popularity.
And in case you suspect bias in the polling, the Republican Party's own house organ, Fox News, showed similarly dismal numbers.
What's the White House's response?
"When you are a leader, you can't be driven by polls," said spokesman Scott McClellan. "The president is focused on moving forward on our agenda."
There, of course, is the problem. The president proposes, Congress disposes. And as his popularity wanes, so does his ability to influence legislation.

I NEVER thought that an administration could be worse than Nixon's...I was WRONG, Cheney, Bush, Rove and the resty of the neocons have raped the Constitution.
Impeachment is far too nice for these war-criminals, and now we must take back our nation, and put the criminals that have hijacked the White House in prison. Nothing short of that will be justice for the innocent people they have slaughtered.
