President Bush's approval rating has hit a new low: 33 percent. Not only are his numbers below embattled Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, but they are well beneath the political Mendoza line. Say hello to Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon while you are down there, Mr. President.

I'm waiting for him to drop into the negatives. The polls will show that out of 100 people surveyed, 130 think he's doing a terrible job.

I'll start paying attention to Bush's approval numbers when the pollsters follow up by asking whether the respondents would prefer Al Gore or John Kerry in the White House!

I think I see an opening for a Ted Kennedy candidacy.

Just don't let him drive to the inauguration.
