[O]nly 41 percent give Bush good marks for being “honest and straightforward” — his lowest ranking on this question since he became president. That’s a drop of nine percentage points since January, when a majority (50 percent to 36 percent) indicated that he was honest and straightforward. This finding comes at a time when the Bush administration is battling the perception that its rhetoric doesn’t match the realities in Iraq, and also allegations that chief political adviser Karl Rove leaked sensitive information about a CIA agent to a reporter. (The survey, however, was taken just before these allegations about Rove exploded into the current controversy.)

Bush honesty rating drops to lowest point, emphases mine

Lord, have mercy, there are some really gullible people out there!
I can't believe that anybody would think of Bush as honest!
Sheesh!

Some people desperately want to believe that their leader isn't feeding them a bunch of crap day in and day out. I don't blame them for that. I do blame those who stay intentionally ignorant of blatant truths that reveal themselves to anyone who'd open their eyes and look.

Do you realize I once imagined that average people were fairly intelligent?
Now I'm not so sure.
