"Documents Show Joe McCarthy Was Right."

I copied and pasted that from the Conservapedia main page. I'm serious. Then they go on to quote Ann Coulter re: Joe McCarthy. I probably wouldn't believe Ann Coulter if she told me she was going to eat small animals for lunch.

Monday

Colbert

is running on both tickets next November, and people are trying to figure out the effect that's going to have. I personally could care less (except Colbert's funny sometimes) but I'm a little skeptical of the organization gathering the data for this article.

"Public Opinion Strategies, a Republican polling firm, recently completed a national poll of 1,000 likely 2008 voters that included Colbert's name in both the GOP and Democratic primaries."

No, I don't give two shits that they're a Republican firm, I just don't think I can come around and believe anyone from an organization that chooses to affix to their name the following moniker:

"'It's clear that Colbert's truthiness image and 'I am America' message has serious resonance among Democrats,' said Neil Newhouse, a POS partner."

The man is a POS partner at a GOP gig, and he thinks people are going to listen to his interpretations of Colbert's "resonance"* among Dems?

* "Resonance" in this context just made JP's list of 10 least favorite words in the English language, coming in between "feelings" (as used in the 'wahhhh wahhhh' sense) and "small-boobied" (what a nasty thing to call someone!)
