WASHINGTON, DC—While there are many signs of President Bush’s flagging popularity, perhaps none is as telling as his precipitous fall on MySpace.
The President’s “friend’s space” has dwindled from a high of 11.2 million shortly after 9/11, to an astonishingly paltry eight friends—and that includes Tom, the MySpace guy who’s automatically everyone’s friend.
When President Bush isn’t “using the Google” on “the internets,” he used to enjoy keeping in touch with friends on MySpace.
Over time, however, almost all of his Republican friends have conspired to de-friend the increasingly unpopular President.
Bush’s approval rating has hovered near a record low and Republican Presidential candidates are either criticizing or ignoring him.
But he’s still the President, and nobody expected that all of his MySpace friends could easily appear in a small box on the front page.
White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, when asked to comment on the President’s dramatic decline in MySpace friends, explained that it merely meant that Bush’s appeal was becoming "more selective.”
Another White House official, who did not want to be named, claimed that the NSA is using top-secret methods to recruit potential MySpace friends for the President. Meanwhile, Bush will try to "use the Facebooks on the internets."
