Pointless Thoughts

I was reading this article on Prez/Congress approval ratings (via Drudge) and I had a few pointless thoughts.

• The article confirms what we already know... there's still a sizable segment within the GOP for whom Bush remains somewhat of a god. He of prescription drug benefits, Harriet Miers, and immigrant amnesty proposals. Are these the same people who hate John McCain for his non-conservatism?

• If the lowest approval rating for any president ever was Truman in 1952 during the Korean war with 23%, does that mean the Greatest Generation was unpatriotic?
