Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Obama's Jewel Heist

On the last day of the presidential primaries, Sen. Barack Obama is showing his overwhelming strength in the Ann Hand rhinestone pin poll.

Sen. Hillary Clinton has been dead in the water for a long time as Hand's Obama pin has reached sales of more than 1,200. And Sen. John McCain has continued to advance in the Georgetown jeweler's Daily Rhinestone Poll. We'll check back in a while to see how taking Clinton out of the equation changes Hand's poll.

Worse than dumb.

"We'll check back", they say, about pin sales. If USNWR actually does "check back" to report this kind of faux journalism subject again, we ought to all move to Newsweek. For those who can't recognize it, this is an editorial SLAM on Obama. And we ought to wonder about "ordered by whom for what?"

DUMB!!

Reminds me of every other idiotic poll - cookies, cupcakes, wobble dolls, you name it.
