If you thought this political season was going to get ugly, you'd be correct. But who would have thought it'd get so ugly that the pollsters actually started slamming one another? Sort of gratifying if you've come to loathe pollsters, only because of the constant harping on them in political coverage.
Zogby versus Clinton pollster Mark Penn:
Penn mischaracterized this latest online Zogby poll as our first interactive survey ever – a bizarre contention, since we have been developing and perfecting our Internet polling methodology for nearly a decade (Zogby Intreractive Methodology), and since Penn’s company has been quietly requesting the results of such polls from Zogby for years. We always comply as part of our pledge to give public Zogby polling results to any and every candidate and campaign that asks for them. What is interesting is that no other campaign has made as many requests for Zogby polling data over the years than Penn has made on behalf of Clinton.
Polls are like assholes: everyone uses them but nobody likes to admit it. I think there's a bigger picture here though that everyone is missing: Hillary Clinton is the only candidate with integrity, patriotism, honestly, and loyalty and those just happen to be the attributes that America needs right now in a leader.

Honesty...? HAW HAW HAW HAW!
Integrity...? Oh dear, I think my spleen just fell out. :P

My gosh, seek, the top comment above is the funniest one I've ever read on a blog, and it was made it seems in deep earnest. Of course there is an importance to being earnest.

HHHmmm. Just visited the "Vote for Hillery" blog. I'm starting to suspect the top comment and the Vote for blog is a spoof. Have my sincere innocence and naivete been cruelly violated again? I fear so. Either that or this Vote for blogger is merely a passionate simpleton with a keyboard.

Indeed, Fred... I initially had dismissed this as another one of our resident trolls' efforts to dupe us into supporting "Die Allemachtige Frau" Clinton in her steamroller run for the Dhimmicrat nomination.
Yet now I have perused the earnest link myself, and am now also cruelly violated... and still bereft of my spleen.
:P

The fact that the 'patriots' spend so much time focused on Hillary is a testament to the fact that they have NO ONE. A cross-dressing fetus-hater, a sickly, sorry old geezer, a wacko Jesus-Freak and a Scientologist. Bob Dole is starting to look good. Victurree is yours, heroes!
Surge On!

"--- A cross-dressing fetus-hater... ---"
Sadly enough, I find myself agreeing with BiS on his/her/it's analysis of Rudy G.
"--- sickly, sorry old geezer... ---"
If this refers to Fred! Thompson, I'd say he'd kick yer butt, BiS.
"--- a wacko Jesus-Freak... ---"
I'd consider Huckabee, on account of his identity as a Christian... but the way he seems to favour bigger government and higher taxes, I don't see him as someone who will allow the economy to grow.
"--- ...and a Scientologist. ---"
Tom Cruise is running for the GOP nomination too...? Or would that be John Travolta? This is news to me, BiS!!

The B00b gets seriously freaked when someone actually pays enough attention to him to refute him. Go easy on this drive-by commenter, seek, he is very fragile.

It was nice of Edwards to pay for the footage.
