Bush joins Club33

According to a new poll, Bush's approval rating is down to 33%. And here's the beauty part: The poll was conducted by Fox. Which means that other polls may soon go below the 30% mark.

This development provides a welcome riposte to those who scoff at the importance of the "revolt of the Generals." That revolt -- I am convinced -- has helped to chip away at Dubya's Republican support. Southerners will always revere the military, and no amount of spinning can ease the damage done by respected retired leaders of our military forces.

Call it a slow-motion, non-violent coup: The Generals, simply by speaking their minds, stoke fury at W; the voters will (we hope) respond by forcing a change in Congress -- and once Dems get subpoena power, watch out.

Of course, the fact that gas prices are now hovering above the three-buck-a-gallon mark also has something to do with Bush's unpopularity.
