Senator John Kerry is stepping up to the mind-numbing idiocy of the MSM.

On MSNBC just now he was talking to teleprompter reader du jour on MSNBC. She's going on about the latest poll where 41% of the polled say that Obama is ready to be commander in chief 29% said he is not. What does this mean, the talking head ask? (paraphrasing) "This is a meaningless issue. Barack Obama is ready to be commander-in-chief." He goes on to express his disgust that a fellow Democrat (i.e. Hillary) would imply that he is not. "I expect that from the republicans"

The key exchange came at the end of the conversation

Kerry: I don't know how many time I have to say this but polls are meaningless at this stage of the game. What is meaningfull is, is that Barack Obama has won more states, more delegates, and more of the popular vote.

Talking Head: Well if we didn't have these polls we wouldn't have much to talk about around here.

Kerry: Well you wouldn't have anything to talk about but perhaps the American people would have something to think about!

2. They're meaningless except when they show Obama ahead. As I recall, during the SC debate he brought

up a poll that showed him beating McCain in the GE. So which is it, Sen. Obama and Sen. Kerry? Were you for early polls before you were against them?

4. They have little meaning until Hillary, in her desperate attempt to get the nomination

starts flinging poo at the walls to see what sticks. She tries to argue that she is somehow "more electable" because she says so. The polls in general, consistently contradict this. Not that Hillary cares about reality at this point, but I don't blame people for bringing up polls to smack down her lies.

6. Thanks for having that quote from John Edwards..

on your sig line, Skipos. It says a LOT.

5. This one does show Obama ahead

and Kerry still says it's meaningless.

3. Geez...

"Talking Head: Well if we didn't have these polls we wouldn't have much to talk about around here."

I don't suppose they could start talking more than they have been doing about meaningful things that don't need any spin to artificially make them important like Iraq, FISA, rising oil prices, etc. etc., instead.
