cheerleading bush during 9/11? Michael Moore sez hai. Also, while Bush might have a 20% approval rating, congress has an approval rating even lower. I haven't seen that bandied about too much. just food for thought.

Michael Moore is your example of the media? Pathetic. That's like quoting left-leaning websites on the internet as the media. I honestly hope you don't think you gave a remotely valid counterexample.
Congress always has a lower approval rating than the President. People only vote for a few of the representatives so they are more than willing to criticize Congress as a whole. I don't really see where you are going with the low approval rating for Congress, since the Republicans are the ones dragging down the numbers as expressed by how people voted. The Democrats gained at least 7 seats in the Senate (2 are still undecided) and around 20 seats in the House. If anything, that is more evidence that people across the nation are dissatisfied with Bush and the Republicans in Congress.
I don't really know how you can spin that any other way.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
