Bush is bouncing back in the polls for not having done anything freshly heinous. Or anyway unpopular. We're at a terminal level of ignorance. What else can you say about it but that, that it's terminal? And the more they get away with the more they know they can get away with. Bush almost seems like a scientific experiment, in this light. Where are the limits? No limits. The wolves have the run of the place.

Relevant term of art for Bush's slight recovery

"Dead cat bounce." (Said of the slight recovery of stocks after the 1929 crash. Even a dead cat will bounce if it falls far enough.)

The fresh batch of bad news for Bush has made the hole a smile again.
