It's amazing in light of what's come out recently, yet CNN is falling all over itself today reporting that Mr. Bush is climbing in the polls, which they interpret as a major sign that everyone loves Mr. Bush, regardless of what bad news comes out.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I suspect the people who agree to take polls - particularly those over the telephone - may not always be the most reliable sources of information. I mean, who picks up their phone anymore? Or maybe I'm the only one who still gets telemarketing calls.
