The media narrative of the week is that President Bush is in Year Six, and that's not been a great year for second-term presidents in modern times. On Monday night, National Public Radio warned that, in 1966, Lyndon Johnson lost a pile of Democratic seats. In 1986, Ronald Reagan lost GOP control of the Senate. In 1998, Bill Clinton was impeached. The strategy for this year mapped out by the second-guessing media: making sure President Bush matches that historical pattern of weakness and loss by year's end.

Wonder how they explain away 1994.

They conveniently ignore it by creating their Year Six template.

Obviously Clinton was hammered in '94, but they can explain it away by saying it doesn't fit, since for Clinton it was Year Two.

The antique media used to get away with their fantasies, but we don't let them anymore.Can you imagine how much they hate us "little pajama clad people" with our modems and keyboards! :^)
