I'm Thinking of a Word Starting With...


When people are asked to provide one word best describing their impression of George Bush, "incompetent" and "arrogant" rank a commanding #1 and #2, according to the February 2007 Political Survey by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. Other less-than-flattering adjectives in the top 10: "stupid," "idiot," and "ignorant" (all of which, given their thrust, could have been combined into a new meta-adjective: "stupidiorant," which would have captured the #1 position). Dead-ender wingnuts, folks without access to modern communications, and/or folks with no sense of irony came in with the #3 and #4 descriptors ("honest" and "good").
