Pooped:

Expect light blogging this week. Basically, after all we've heard in the last several weeks (poor SotU, O'Neill book, go/no-go Mars mission, absurd WMD commission, Clarke book, 9/11 commission, Iraq, unimpressive press conference, endorsement of Sharon plan, Woodward book, Bush acting as a proxy for The Almighty, his casual acceptance of Saudi election meddling, Negroponte, miscellaneous scandals) the fact that Bush has approval numbers anywhere north of 35% is hard to accept.

What's the point in examining the record if the public is so out of touch with reality?

We'll probably catch our breath and post with renewed vigor, but for this week at least, we're taking it easy.

NOTE: After posting, we read TPM which commented on a similar theme.

If I could capture the mood in a sentence, it is, "If this doesn't sink the guy, nothing will."

Josh Marshall then goes on to suggest that Bush's ad campaign is helping him out. Could be. If so, that doesn't bode well for democracy in America.
