Moby checked in with fans on his official web site’s blog on Sunday (January 18), reacting to news that George W. Bush’s final approval rating is at 22%, the lowest of the Republican’s eight year run. Moby tells readers:
In any case, the 8 years of Bush and Republican rule are coming to an end. The remainder of Bush’s term can be measured in hours. Tick tock tick tock. I mean, it’s almost done. 8 years of Bush and Cheney and Tom Delay and Donald Rumsfeld and Trent Lott and etc etc. Almost done. America is still crazy, and could theoretically still elect a dangerously arrogant and incompetent president in the future. Most Americans still employ the ‘he seems like a fun guy to have a beer with’ criteria when voting and are invariably less discriminating in choosing a president than they are in choosing a plumber (I mean, would anyone pick a plumber based on the ‘he seems like a fun guy to have a beer with’ criteria?). But maybe we’ve learned. I doubt it, but it’s possible that enough people have learned and there’ll be a reasonable and reasonably informed majority who will at least try to make informed and educated choices when they vote. Who knows what will happen in 2 and 4 years when America votes again. In the meantime it’s 96 hours until regime change.
