I know you wanted to just relax and enjoy life but I'm glad to see you back. Otherwise I might have missed this gem from the dirty tricks book:
It seems that a Republican polling firm is conducting push polls in Wisconsin that explicitly use the accusation of the Swift Boat Liars for Bush in their misleading questions.Unfortunately for them, they called the wrong guy: A democratic activist who jotted down their questions, and signed an affidavit confirming all of it.
They also made a boo boo by trying that in Wisconsin, which has a state law requiring any polling firm to reveal who is paying for a poll if asked. Naturally, the gentleman asked the caller who was paying for the poll.
Just as naturally, they clammed up.
What really pisses me off is that the SCLM just lets this stuff slide 99.99999% of the time. Without the Blue Blogosphere we'd be in even deeper doo-doo than we already are.
