TNR "In just three years, George W. Bush has transformed from an honest, good, arrogant leader into an incompetent, good, idiot, liar. That at least is the view of the American people as divined by the folks at the Pew Research Center, which just released the latest of its regular reports on the most common single word that poll respondents use to describe the president. In 2003, 'honest' topped the list, followed by a parade of adulation: 'good,' 'arrogant,' 'leader,' 'great,' 'confident,' 'courageous,' 'aggressive,' 'Christian,' and 'determined.' The latest installment of this always-entertaining survey reports that 'honest,' after a three-year reign across five separate studies, has been dislodged by 'incompetent' as the number one Bush descriptor. It is followed by 'good,' 'idiot,' 'liar,' 'Christian,' 'honest,' 'arrogant,' 'strong,' 'integrity,' and 'ass.' Yup, that's right, 'ass.'"
