Flipping past CNN this evening, I found Mr. LD flogging his daily online poll, as he is wont to do on a nightly basis. "Is the media being fair to Joe Wurzelbacher? Stop by Lou Dobbs dot-com and let us know in our nightly poll."
Now, we all know that Dobbs is a phony centrist, one of those make-believe warriors for the middle class who couldn't tell you the retail price of a quart of milk. But there was something in Dobbs's tone that told me that his invite to the website was specifically a lie. I couldn't put my finger on what gave that away (other than the fact that his lips were moving), or what kind of lie was being perpetrated; I perceived only that there was dishonesty afoot, and that LD was aware of the deception.
Whrn I arrived at the website, here's what the actual poll question turned out to be:
Do you find it interesting that the national media surrounded Joe the Plumber's house and has barraged him for days and has yet to put a satellite truck in front of Bill Ayers' house?
Damn that CNN and their liberal bias.
