Bob Herbert: Shaking the House of Cards

I find Bob Herbert to be an underrated columnist. He really writes some great columns. As good as anybody I read.-Bill

Shaking the House of Cards
By BOB HERBERT

No wonder the sky-high poll numbers for President Bush have collapsed. The fiasco in Iraq is only part of the story. The news on one substantive issue after another could hardly be worse. It's almost as if the president had a team in the White House that was feeding his credibility into a giant shredder.

Despite the administration's relentlessly optimistic chatter about the economy, the Census Bureau reported that the number of Americans living in poverty increased by 1.7 million last year, the second straight annual increase. During those two years, the number of poor Americans has grown by 3 million.

1. I've been reading Herbert for some time now

I try to read as many minority columnists as I can, even rightwing ones.

2. Same here

Bob's a great one, for sure. I'm often befuddled by RW minorities, Being a progressive minority myself-Blackfeet Indian- I consider it a foreign concept to be on THAT side, haha.
