— Ace And by "Hitler" I mean Scott Rasmussen.
The delightful thing about this is that they seethe with anger at his methodology (polling likely voters! How insane!) and then later note that he was the only guy to get the rise of Scott Brown right (and much earlier than anyone else).
So, essentially: They're arguing that the less-accurate methodology is the one to be preferred. And, not coincidentally, that less-accurate methodology just happens to paint the electorate as far more liberal and Democratic than it actually is.

WaPo Profile of HitlerThe other day, I was trying to coherently explain why something like this post, or the Downfall subtitling thing is fine, and funny with me, but that a play like The Producers is offensive.
Can anyone make sense of my outlook?

Rasmussen polled the Frank Luntz focus group formed for Bambi's fantastic Oral Orifice speech and found quite surprisingly that all white participants disliked the speech, and amazingly so, the two black members of the group both loved the speech and love Obama.

If Rasmussen is Hitler, Frank Luntz is some guy who convinces the dumbest people he can find to sit in a room and mash buttons while the man in box talks to them.

I'm not even bothering to click through to read a second party's reference to WaPo tripe anymore. What's the point? That doesn't mean I don't mind the mocking of it by bloggers and great headline comedy of it all, but WaPo, like the NYTimes and other hyperpartisan, dishonest rags, just don't deserve the time. If they're talked about, they're relevant. Maybe it's time to quit feeding the beast, even tangentially.

Wait -- is the play "The Producers" offensive, or is the play within the play, "Springtime for Hitler" offensive?
(Personally I find the play "The Producers" offensive because it lacks Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel.)

Re: Obama suing AZ
Remember just a few weeks ago when Obama asked Brewer to delay enforcing the law and we said he gonna con her into delaying the law and sue her anyway?
And remember Obama ordered 1200 guardsmen to the AZ border but gave no date of when they'd be sent or what their role would be?
While we're tripping over ourselves because Joe Barton doesn't choose his words carefully enough to pass muster with the media, President Jerkoff is sexing the entire nation in the rectum.

While suturing up a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, whose hand had been caught in the gate while working his cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama, and his being our president.
The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is just a Post Turtle."
Now not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked,
What's a "Post Turtle?"
The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."
The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he sure as heck ain't goin' anywhere, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there in the first place."
