A lot of people secretly still love Bush. For the same reasons they love Palin, really. They wish that they had a little more money in the bank and perhaps not so many people were dying in Iraq, but they still love Bush -- except when the pollsters ask leading questions, then it's obvious what you 'should' say.

...he's just such an irascible kid! That lovable scamp, always having some screw up or another and then grinning when you catch him at it. Palin's just like him, except she will be better!
