Picture of the Day - 3

Sen. Stabenow talking about the Bush Censure on the Senate floor yesterday.

Also: Bush at 33% in the new Pew poll. (I think this is an outlier, but it confirms trend.)
The fun part of this survey is this.

The changing impressions of the president can best be viewed by tracking over time how often words come up in these top-of-the-mind associations. Until now, the most frequently offered word to describe the president was "honest," but this comes up far less often today than in the past. Other positive traits such as "integrity" are also cited less, and virtually no respondent used superlatives such as "excellent" or "great" ­ terms that came up fairly often in previous surveys.

The single word most frequently associated with George W. Bush today is "incompetent,"and close behind are two other increasingly mentioned descriptors: "idiot" and "liar." All three are mentioned far more often today than a year ago.

See, Ms. Stabenow, has her ear to the ground, and is reflecting back a simple message. That's how you conduct politics in the age of TV.
