Cheney's Plummeting Approval Ratings Closer to Single Digit

TUESDAY MARCH 7 2006 4:00 PM

Submitted by zymyrgy. Edited By Shalome.

Apparently, Dick Cheney is less popular than Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson. The poll conducted by CBS puts Cheney squarely at ground zero for personal approval ratings by the American public, at 18%. OJ Simpson, by contrast, ranked at 29% in 1994 during his murder trial, and Michael Jackson hovers somewhere around 25%.

Small consolation for Cheney - Spiro Agnew, the only other US Veep in danger of being kicked to the curb sported a 43% approval rating when he resigned for tax evasion and corruption charges. Even smaller - Paris Hilton, the world's most recognizable oxygen thief, stands 3% lower in the polls than ol' Dick.

No, that would the the nightly news where we find out how much we're getting fucked by the Big Dick and Young Bush.

And I respect OJ. Here's a man who can commit a crime and get away with it. Learn it, Dick!

Well, if you consider the fact that he's working for the top 10-15% of the population, that's pretty much right on target for him...

How do so many people like O.J and MJ? Paris Hilton isn't great, but she sure as fuck hasn't molested or murdered anybody.

Yes but the irony is they keep saying how much they are in touch with the average joe and how much they are their for the ppl.

As far as I have seen no matter where in the world it is no poltician acts for the good of the ppl now do they act in the intrest of the good of th nation. When they do will fly.
