SHOCKING NEW POLL!!! Republicans LOVE Reagan and HATE Obama.

[geek tragedy]

Wait a second, that's not news at all.

You wouldn't know that from all of the breathless hype of a poll showing that President Obama was ranked by 35% of the respondents as the worse president since WWII. And Reagan winning the "best" category.

But . . .

Turns out, this is merely the function of the Teapublicans all agreeing that Reagan is the second coming of Christ, and that Obama is the antichrist.

Which is not news.

Why did Obama edge out Bush II? Because there are so many deserving candidates on the Republican side--Nixon winds up stealing a lot of votes from Bush II.

2. Good article. The media will shamelessly try to hype this poll

Even though we know this is not a reliable polling firm and that the data is not very useful. It reflects strong polarization and GOP solidarity in disliking Obama (not new or worthwhile info).

3. Is that a surprise that a fascist pig would be popular among assholes?

Assholes meaning Republicans.

4. And the AOL front page, of course, is breathlessly reporting

that "OBAMA VOTED WORST PRESIDENT". I fully expect Drudge to do the same.

5. Chart shows that NO Democrats picked Reagan as worst President.

Even Carter and Clinton got votes; according to the chart.

That doesn't seem possible.
