"winter of our discontent"

Heh heh:

More and more people, particularly Republicans, disapprove of President Bush's performance, question his character and no longer consider him a strong leader against terrorism, according to an AP-Ipsos poll documenting one of the bleakest points of his presidency.

Nearly four out of five Americans, including 70 percent of Republicans, believe civil war will break out in Iraq - the bloody hot spot upon which Bush has staked his presidency. Nearly 70 percent of people say the U.S. is on the wrong track, a 6-point jump since February.

"Obviously, it's the winter of our discontent," said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla.

Another pony for Holden!

But the real question continues to be - with everything finally spiralling down the shitter, will the Dems finally grow enough spine to start acting like a real opposition party, and a real alternative to the incompetence and corruption now rampant?
