Rhode Island Born, Rhode Island Bred

Bob Kerr of the Providence Journal celebrates Rhode Island's lowest-in-the-nation approval rating of President Bush, at a paltry 22%.

Let's see if we can get that approval rating down to single digits and tell the rest of the country that Rhode Island is a place where you don't have to hit people upside the head with a tire iron to convince them there is a very scary man running the country.

Because this isn't going to get better. There are more than two years left of this dark White House folly, and George W. Bush is not a guy who's going to face up to disaster and turn it around.

So take a bow, Rhode Island. You have seen the truth behind the spin. You have led the nation in putting the proper numbers on a bumbling presidency.

There's not much more I can say. Rhode Island has out-liberaled Massachusetts. Well done.
