I was Zogbied!
And I answered accurately, which was pro-Kerry in every case but one. The one?

Quoting Zogby (http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=874):

"When respondents were asked, “If your car was broken down on the side of the road, who do you think would be more likely to help you”--nearly one in three (32%) identified Kerry, while two in five (40%) suggest Bush."

I said, "I can't answer that." And I can't. I know that I should have said "Kerry," but this is one of those "Who'd you rather have a drink with" questions that is designed to get my "real feelings" by creating a scenario that disables my rote response, and it's just too damned trivial for an election of this importance.

The pollster also asked me if I were a Nascar fan and if I were aware of the labor troubles in the National Hockey League.

3. Can I go with neither?
"Public Bush" would have given you a lift to a mechanic. "Real Bush" would have swerved towards your car to watch you jump.

5. Hmmm...
  • Michael Moore would film an interview with you, including close-ups of the Japanese components in the car.
  • Ralph Nader would tell you he warned you about that car and then signed your copy of "Unsafe at Any Speed."
  • John Kerry would've gone back up the highway and set out warning flares.
  • Jenna Bush would've stuck her tongue out at you as her limo flew by.
  • John Ashcroft would arrest you for parking in a No Parking zone.
  • John Edwards would defend you in court.
  • Fox News would've reported that you stole the car.
  • George W. Bush would've invited you into his car, taken a picture, and then had Rove kick you out a mile up the road leaving you to walk back.
  • The Swiftboat Veterans for Truthlessness would claim that they were riding with you and that you damaged the car yourself.
  • A mob of Freepers would wait until Bush drove you up the road and would then've slashed your tires.
