In a word...
Pew Reasearch asked for a one-word description of Bush. Here's what they got.
"Bush's personal image, by contrast, is at the low point of his presidency. His overall favorability rating has tumbled from 72% last April, shortly after the fall of Baghdad, to 53% in the current survey. Moreover, when asked for a one-word description of Bush, equal percentages now give negative and positive responses, which marks a dramatic shift since last May when positive descriptions outnumbered negative ones by roughly two-to-one (52%-27%). The most frequently used negative word to describe Bush is "liar," which did not come up in the May 2003 survey. The president's job approval also stands at an all-time low. Just 48% approve of his performance as president, the first time in his presidency his rating has fallen below 50%."

I don't guess "miserable failure" counts as one word, huh?

I would have been tempted to use a more...forceful word, but it wouldn't have been polite in public ;)

Does "Dickhead" qualify as a single word or is it "Dick Head?"

Prevaricatinator, this being a non-word he will get around to saying himself as his tongue falls out of gear.
If liar is the popular negative descriptor, does this give the Dems a tactical clue?
