Why political ups and downs don't matter

Bush is down in the polls? His Social Insecurity plan on the skids? A majority now believes he lied about the war? Caught on camera kissing ass with Prince Abdullah and Tom DeLay?

Time for Dems to gloat? Feh.

Politics is like playing on a see-saw -- you get lots of ups and downs. But the only thing that really counts is when to get off. And Bush is very, very good at getting off at the right time.

I'm just saying.
