Our Chickenshit Press is Terrified of a Failure.

And I don't mean they're afraid to fail. I mean they are afraid of a living Failure.

A presidential Failure.

A president who, not even halfway through his second term, has taken nearly a year off.

A president who lied his country into an illegal war, causing the slaughter of tens of thousands.

He couldn't get his Social Security plan to work. Even with a PR whistlestop tour that cost taxpayers between $22,000 and $59,000 per event.

His fuzzily-named "No Child Left Behind" act harms more children than it helps.

He's taken our country's largest surplus ever and turned it into a staggering deficit.

He's terrified of a mother that lost her son in his war, and has had to rely on smear tactics by his few remaining followers to save himself.

He needed help from his handlers to make it through a debate, which he still managed to lose.

His only response to dissent, rather than to face his critics or fix his mistakes, is to silence dissenters by force. (And by his right-wing smear lapdogs, when necessary.)

He loses every current poll.

He's less popular than Nixon during Watergate, for Chrissake.

I could continue, but really, I think that's enough.

There is one thought, one nagging thought that drives this blog, and which jabs at me daily.

With all these failures, with one of the lowest popularity ratings in American history, why is the American Media still terrified of him?

Are they afraid of his revenge tactics? Are they scared of being labeled the "liberal media?"

George Bush is effectively destroying this Country, and it looks as if he wants to take the rest of the world with it.

Why is the media not going after him with both barrels?

He is an easy target. He is a miserable failure. He is an unpopular president. America is not behind George W. Bush.

Why, oh why, is the media so afraid of this man?
