I'll admit the thought crossed my mind, but it is a good thing they cought him and really doesn't change the facts much...
Bush is lucky -- the economy improved despite his awful tax cuts, they found Sadaam (though not the WMD, which seem to not exist anymore -- *shock* --)... sure, Bush has done innumerable things wrong in every single category (Ducalkis, failed '88 candidate, said that Bush Jr. is the worst president he'd ever seen, and I'd have to agree), but he's probably done enough, if he keeps it up, that he'll get a lot of swing votes because of how stupid people are and how they don't look at all the factors, just the ones they'd rather look at. And anyway, a lot of the states that would really take issue with what Bush has done (the environment is one of the biggest issues here... Bush has led an all-out attack on thirty years of environmental legislation and has done a frightenly effective job of obliterating a good half of the environmental protections that we count on to try to attempt to protect us...) are Democratic states anyway and who cares about them?
Oh yeah, and the environment isn't just a partisan thing -- many, maybe most, of the Northeast Republicans seem to agree to a large extent that what Bush is doing is bad.
