Steve Benen covers the latest Pew survey, which included an open-ended question asking for one word to describe "your impression of President Bush." The top 10 list is not so hot:
1. Incompetent
2. Arrogant
2. (tie) Honest
4. Good
5. Idiot
6. Integrity
6. (tie) Leader
8. Strong
9. Stupid
10. Ignorant
Steve also notes: "I thought I’d add that 'ass' wasn’t too far behind, at #13." Ouch.
This reminded me that, back in April of last year, the Question of the Day was: "Your friend Joe has been in a coma for six years and has just woken up, and for some reason that depends on your suspension of disbelief, you have to summarize George Bush's presidency for him in one word only. What word do you choose?" The following day, almost 400 comments later, I summed up Bush's presidency as defined by the Shakers. It wasn't pretty.
