As a blogger, I sometimes get less than complimentary email. Based on one such charming message received late last week, I present, with apologies to Hotline Last Call...

A shot...

Subject: Your "poll" is a joke

Who are you polling? The bush family. If you are, you aren't asking George W because that idiot would not have a clue how to respond.

Maybe you are polling retarded people like yourself, or those in mental institutions, like your inbred family, who can't respond on their own.

And a chaser...

If you were to take it and put me in an opinion poll and said do I approve of Iraq, I'd be one of those that said, no, I don't approve of what's taking place in Iraq

-- President George W. Bush, The News Hour with Jim Lehrer, January 16, 2007

PS: Having just seen a sneak peek, I can tell you that Professor Franklin has a great (and far more serious) post coming later today on the impact of the President's "surge" speech on public opinion on Iraq. Stay tuned.
