Those Damn Polls

Huh – Now that’s really weird. According to a Rasmussen poll 43% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the new speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi. I found this kind of astonishing since I think most would agree the country is pretty evenly split Democrats and Republicans. Given that she has gotten press only slightly more favorable than I would expect the messiah would get on the second coming I would really expect close to 60% popularity for her.

But wait, look again, the same poll says she has a 39% unfavorable opinion among likely voters. That’s astonishingly high considering she has been in office a matter of hours. So what gives?

Well, frankly I think it’s a combination of two things: hard core right and left antagonism. Pelosi is a pretty far left gal and I think the far left that supported her is a little cranky they aren’t hearing that congress is cutting off funding for Iraq starting next week. The right is equally cranky because it is just a little hard to swallow all this “most ethical congress in the world” crap from her when we have guys like William “cold cash bill” Jefferson getting standing O’s from the congressional black caucus. Its pretty hard to claim you are running an ethical ship when you have guys openly taking $100k bribes as members of your party.

Oh well, lets look for more mirthful ninnydom in the Senate as well. With Bob Byrd as president pro tempore things should be fun. Nothing like having an ex KKK grand kleagle and Exalted Cyclops running things to get the yuks going. Ill start things off: Did you know a Kleagle was sort of like the head recruiter for the KKK? No? Well, how’s this for synchronicity, Kleagle sounds a heck of a lot like Kegal, which is the name of a vaginal exercise. EEEerie aint it?


One thing’s for sure, I have a feeling that Grand Cyclopes merit badge is pretty darn cool….. wonder if he’s got it framed somewhere…. Hey, maybe its on Ebay?

Oh man it’s going to be a fun two years. Pelosi’s shrill shreak “We want the troops out now, it’s a quagmire but we don’t have the guts to stand behind our words and cut off funding” Byrd in the background muttering “Yeah Nancy! Ya’ll give em hell, this is a frustrating arrogance of tarnation presidential abuse….. where’s mah damn sheet”
