Why There's No Bounce

Journalists are scratching their heads as to why Bush and the Shrubpublicans haven't received a poll bounce with all the "good" news in the past week. I offer a few possible explanations:

1. 2,500 casualties in a war no one has adequately explained
2. The need for the Pentagon to release a 74-page book of talking points prior to debate in Congress of a useless resolution on the Iraq war.
3. The stock markets lost 10% of their value in the past couple of weeks due to rising inflation - read the National debt
4. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me as many times as the Bushies have lied and spun, no bounce in the polls.
5. Gay marriage and flag burning are the number one issues facing the Shrubpublicans in Congress.
6. Electioneering instead of solving problems.
7. Katrina.
8. Iraq.
9. Karl Rove.
10. Bill Frist.
11. Tom Delay.
12. Americans aren't as dumb as you like to think.

etc.
