In other countries

when a president's approval rating hits a personally terrifying 34%, the army marches in, the Administration flees in fear of its life and a Neu Ordnung is proclaimed.

Governments FALL when 34% is the best they can do...proud cabinet minister's pack their sachels with gold ingots and flee to Montevideo. Swiss Bank Account Numbers are memorized, gunboat captains are bribed...the Concierge at the Grand Caymen Hilton is quietly tipped off...a host of low venal behavior is indulged.

Here in the USA though, we do things differently, 34% (and an appalling 18% approval rating for Dick Cheney) means little more than the same gang of pirates gets to go ON stealing and lying til Someone Somewhere teaches these assholes a harsh public lesson in humility.
When that lesson is going to commence I don't know.

Meanwhile, in operational terms, 34% is also license for the usual shit-heels to jump ugly on John Kerry. "He couldn't beat a Texas scumbag with a 34% approval rating" or so Joanie Vennochi will be screeching sometime this week.
Joanie has been monotonously beating up on the democrats this week, so no doubt we are about due for a dose of her poisonous hatred for our Junior Senator.
Alas, that is all 34% means.
