He's getting desperate - and it shows

with his approval ratings sinking to the high 30s, the guy so badly wants people to see him as a leader, he's actually making his 3d trip to the gulf coast, doing his usual trick, sticking close by folks in uniform who have no goddam choice but to salute their commander-in-chief... what a pathetic loser...

President Bush, eager to show hands-on leadership in the Gulf Coast hurricane recovery effort, joined commanders working from a military ship docked in this flooded city on Sunday.

The president was spending the night on the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima, which is serving as a control center in the relief efforts.

On Monday, he planned to tour the New Orleans area and Gulfport, Miss., in his third and longest visit to the region in the nearly two weeks since Hurricane Katrina and subsequent flooding struck the states.
