Politicky Politics

Campaigning is a dirty, double-speaking business. This from First Read today:
The surge revisited: Republicans, meanwhile, have jumped all over Obama’s response to ABC’s Terry Moran, who asked the Illinois senator yesterday whether he would support the surge if he had to do it all over again. Obama answered no. “Well, these kinds of hypotheticals are [...]

Surrounded By Idiots

Politico’s Jonathan Martin and Ben Smith did some digging on American Dumbass Stats (my title, not theirs). Their research was prompted by the polls that continue to indicate that 10% of Americans still believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim. They found:
22% believe President Bush knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance.
30% believe Saddam had [...]
