Quotes of the Morning: Problems with Polling
“Heeere’s Johnny!”
-Jack Torrance, The Shining

“Sources have confirmed to CBS4 News that conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been detained at Palm Beach International Airport for the possible possession of illegal prescription drugs Monday evening.
Limbaugh was returning on a flight from the Dominican Republic when officials found the drugs, among them Viagra.”
-CBS4 News, June 26, 2006
“Mr. Limbaugh is of course already in trouble for his issues with prescription pain killers. Investigators will need to take a hard look at this new violation, though Limbaugh will probably get off with just a stiff fine. The real question is, how long will Limbaugh try to keep up his denials of personal responsibility in these issues? He keeps pretending that the media is just trying to stick it to him, but with one indictment already against him it really isn’t looking like the media is shafting him as much as it just looks like Limbaugh just can’t get up the energy to fight his addiction issues.
Sorry… I couldn’t help myself. Now, on to the world of the Far Right”
-Skippy

The percentage of Americans who say the president has ‘a clear plan for handling the situation in Iraq’ has dropped to 31%, a new low.“
-USA Today, June 26, 2006
“You see, this is the problem with being seen as the mouthpiece of a political party rather than as a news service. When people support the political party you will thrive, but when people become critical of the politicians you suddenly drop like a stone. Se la vie.”
