BUSH JOB APPROVAL AT 47 PERCENT: I wonder if Abu Ghraib isn’t a turning point. I was glad the president went on Arab television to explain. I’m befuddled why he cannot simply apologize. Rumsfeld’s blithe assertion that he hadn’t even bothered to read the full Taguba report before a major press conference also cannot quite dislodge itself from my consciousness. I don’t think Rummy gets it. Meanwhile, Peter Hart observes: “Voters see neither peace nor prosperity on the horizon.” And Rove has spent $60 million to see Bush’s ratings drop.
