Atrios has a sneak peek at a new ABC News poll on attitudes towards the Bush Administration's stonewalling (and now moving the goal posts on what constitutes a firing offense) on RiskNationalSecurityForPettyPoliticalReasonsGate...and it ain't gonna make the Bush Junta happy:
Just a quarter of Americans think the White House is fully cooperating in the federal investigation of the leak of a CIA operative's identity, a number that's declined sharply since the investigation began. And three-quarters say that if presidential adviser Karl Rove was responsible for leaking classified information, it should cost him his job.
Skepticism about the administration's cooperation has jumped. As the initial investigation began in September 2003, nearly half the public, 47 percent, believed the White House was fully cooperating. That fell to 39 percent a few weeks later, and it's lower still, 25 percent, in this new ABC News poll.
If we're lucky, they'll just raise the terror alert. If we're not so lucky, well, who knows? But when I'm hearing registered Republicans talking about how they think Bush is going to architect a terrorist attack right before the 2008 election, declare a state of emergency, and refuse to leave office, a shift has definitely taken place. How seismic it is remains to be seen. But that 25 percent represents the base for whom Bush could be caught sodomizing infants, then dismembering them, cooking them, and eating them with fava beans and a nice chianti and they'd still say whatever he does is wonderful and he has his reasons.
