Bush is Batman

He came to save us from terrorism, this rich boy who donned his flyboy costume to declare "mission accomplished." But then something happened. Iraq turned into a Gotham gone crazy, and no amount of Batmobiles can subdue the criminal gangs there.

Meanwhile, the Bruce Wayne Bush keeps batting his eyes at us about Social Security. But we're not buying it. If he sort of worked in his costume, he doesn't work as a character without a mask. Nobody cares about Bush's fantasies when they're Bruce Wayney. We want Batman.

And that ain't working. More and more, Batman looks like Chimpman. According to the NY Times: "Increasingly pessimistic about Iraq and skeptical about President Bush's plan for Social Security, Americans are giving Mr. Bush one of the lowest approval ratings of his presidency, according to the NY Times/CBS News Poll. 42% said they approved of the way Mr. Bush was handling his job, a marked decline from his 51% rating after the election. Despite months of presidential effort, two-thirds said they were uneasy about Mr. Bush's ability to make sound decisions on Social Security. 33% said they thought the country was on the right track, while 61% said it had gone off in the wrong direction."

Bruce Wayne Bush ain't cutting it, and Batman Bush is dead. If he's wearing anything today, it's his old Performing Monkey outfit. In fact, he's already being measured for his next costume: Lame Duck. It's time for Wonder Woman Hillary.
