I found this here and thought it was very interesting.
Describe Bush in One Word
"Incompetent," "idiot" and "liar" were one-word descriptions of President Bush by a majority of Americans, a new survey found. Mr. Bush is also seen as being more "out of touch" than President Reagan. What would be your one-word description of President Bush?
President Bush has been losing the support of his core constituents, according to opinion polls released this month. The Pew Research Center in its poll asked respondents to use one word to describe President Bush. The results were startling.
The most frequently used word was "incompetent," followed by "good," "idiot," "liar," "Christian," "honest" and "arrogant."
Overall, only 28 percent of respondents used positive words like "good, Christian and honest," while 48 percent used negative words such as "incompetent, idiot and liar." One in 10 used neutral words, "O.K., president, conservative" and others.
The White House has been struggling to rebuild its image after damaging corruption scandals, slow progress in Iraq, the failed Dubai port deal, secret eavesdropping program, slow response to Katrina and the handling of Mr. Cheney's hunting accident.
In the same survey, 56 percent of Americans said President Bush is "out of touch with what is going on in the government." Only 36 percent said he is "in touch." In 1987, 47 percent of Americans thought President Reagan was "out of touch."
What would be your one-word description of President Bush?

Glenda - that's a great story. So typical of Bush. and what does reading have to do with the violence? Some of the most learned people can be the most violent.
Jeremy - right on.
Laurie - so true. If the election was now, I'm sure that Bush couldn't win...even if he messed with the voting. Maybe I'm just in an optimistic mood right now, but I think the whole ideas of you're going to hell and are going to be attacked by terrorists if you don't vote Republican is starting to wear off. People are starting to realize we've been at war for three years...and nothing has been gained, 2,300 people lost their lives, and there is no solid reason for even going to war.
