Radar makes some lovely, invidious comparisons between polls, and as it turns out, George W. Bush now has a lower approval ratings than fruitcake, Ryan Seacrest, or dogshit on your shoe:

As they say, you can’t make this stuff up. The classic metaphor becomes literal: Bush is lower than dogshit!

(And not just the abstract concept of dogshit — oh no, lower than a disgusting interaction with canine poop!)

“According to the latest CBS News poll, the president’s overall approval rating has dipped to 28 percent–the lowest number in his presidency and dangerously close to Nixon’s all-time low of 24 percent. To lend a little context to this historic feat, we found some other people and things with equal or greater popularity.”

(SOME OTHER) THINGS WITH AN APPROVAL RATING HIGHER THAN GEORGE W. BUSH:

  • Brussels Sprouts (51%)
  • Fruit Cake (40%)
  • The Dentist (45%)
  • Hanson (53%)
  • Stepping in Dog Shit (35%)
  • Getting Kicked in the Balls (41%)

Forgive this dip into the scatalogical, and please resist it in the comments, if you can. I’m feeling particularly juvenile today, there’s no reason you should lower yourself to my level.
