Even the Chimpletons Are Deserting Their Monkey
I never thought that Chimpy’s approval rating could drop below 20%. Even Nixon, the day before he got on that helicopter, still had around 25%.
Therefore, the latest Chimpy poll number is a stunning one. Abe Lincoln had more supporters in Atlanta than Chimpy has in America. The moronic monkey has officially claimed the title that he so richly deserves-Worst President Ever.
It is true that the moronic monkey is the worst excuse for a President we’ve ever had-but we shouldn’t let that fact cause us to forget what a thoroughly rotten son of a bitch he was BEFORE he was President. Chimpy was born useless scum, spent his life as a perpetual failure, and leaves this country a destitute wreck stuck in a war that need never have been. We’re poorer, there are more racists among us, we’re meaner in general, and we’re scared. That is, unless you happen to be a member of the top 2%, in which case you’re happy as a clam.
Few leaders in history can lay claim to either as much blood on their hands, or as much failure, as Chimpy can. The list of those who combined the callousness AND the stupidity of Chimpy is a small one indeed; Duvalier, Amin, Pol Pot, Saddam, perhaps a few others in places so remote that history has overlooked them. It isn’t much of a legacy, but I’m sure the moronic monkey is perfectly happy with it.
Heckuva job, Chimpy.
The perception that the economy is failing may have finally done what seven years of lies and incompetence have failed — bring George Bush’s approval rating down to a closer reflection of reality:
George W. Bush’s overall job approval rating has dropped to a new low in American Research Group polling as 78 percent of Americans say that the national economy is getting worse according to the latest survey from the American Research Group.
Among all Americans, 19 percent approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 77 percent disapprove. When it comes to Bush’s handling of the economy, 14 percent approve and 79 percent disapprove.
Bad news for Bush but good news, finally, for the United States of America. It means that fewer than 20 percent of our fellow citizens are truly and irrevocably dimwitted and/or delusional.
But how does a 19 percent approval rating compare with other presidents? Here’s an overview from the recent past:
- Clinton low: 36 percent, May 1993 (early missteps like Zoe Baird)
- George H.W. Bush low: 29 percent, August 1992 (recession)
- Reagan low: 35 percent, January 1983 (recession)
- Carter low: 28 percent, July 1979 (high gas prices)
- Ford low: 37 percent, January 1975 (economy, Nixon pardon)
- Nixon low: 23 percent, January 1974 (Watergate)
- Johnson low: 35 percent, August 1968 (Vietnam)
- Lowest ever? That would be Harry Truman during the Korean War, in February 1952, at 22 percent.
We’ll have to wait and see if other polls show a similar trend, but for now it appears we have a winner, or rather, a loser.
George W. Bush, officially the Worst President Ever.

Too bad the poll itself was flawed. On the other hand, every percent above zero is 1% too high.

Looks that Jr. finally beat “his Daddy” at something!

Bush isn’t eligible to be considered worst President ever, since he never was elected president.

Neither was Ford, but he could have been the worst, if he’d been the inbred lout piece of shit Chimpy is.
