Frightening words?

Atrios points to this lovely quote:

If you are a Democrat with a compulsion to run for president, this would be a good time to find a detox program for the ambition-addicted. President Bush's popularity is at Founding Father levels. The Republicans have a cassette full of your doleful prewar words about Desert Storm, ready for media man Roger Ailes to pin to your hide. Meanwhile, Bush's Warthogs . . . are softening you up from the air, impugning your toughness if not your patriotism. Even if you voted for the war . . . you still have to answer for your party, which opposed it almost en masse. "They're fair game," says Ailes.

Seems hopeless, right? Except for we're not talking about George W Bush, this was written in 1991 by Howard Fineman. And we all know about how Bush won that election right?

You notice how a Bush has not won the presidincy in nearly 15 years?
