Heh. Just watched Bill Schneider pat Wolf Blitzer on the head like a slow child.
Schneider had already explained that the 34% approval rating by CNN and the 31% of Gallup were statistically consistent since they had a +/-3% margin of error. Wolf then asked how the polls could be compatible, forcing Schneider to speak slowly: "well, 34 minus 3 is 31, and 31 plus 3 is 34."

What an idiot.
The Wolfman is much more likely to get it on the first try when a Ken Mehlman, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen or David Dreieris doing the talking.
ReplyDeleteI'm still checking out Schneider's math.
ReplyDeleteW has got to have bottomed out by now.
I don't know..... If Hookergate explodes in his face, that might just shave off a couple more points.
