One must hope that this poll is as biased as the "news" organizations that ran it. Which were the Fake but Accurate CBS News, and the Jayson Blair Times. The latter sometimes referred to as the "We don't need to fact check our precious young staff hired without regard to merit" Times.

Anyway, this poll, whose results are reported here have, no surprise, Hillary Clinton being anointed president. Among the not-too-surprising results, these little tidbits:

On specific issues, a majority of voters thinks Clinton would make good decisions on health care (74 percent) and foreign policy (68 percent), while 58 percent think she'd be effective as commander in chief. But many (52 percent) are "uneasy" about her ability to handle an international crisis.

All of which shows that the people they asked haven't been paying close attention to the HillaryCare fiasco, or perhaps they mostly live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

Polls can be entertaining, but I'd like to think they've little bearing on what will happen when Hillary has to face a live opponent. As opposed to Nothingburger Obama and the other dwarves running on the Donk side.

Rudy Giuliani still leads among the Elephants, but Fred Dalton Thompson (love the ring of that name...) is breathing hard down Rudy's neck. And he's not even announced yet. And don't forget the smartest man in the lot, who may or may not toss his fedora in the ring: Newt Gingrich.

Any and all of these gentlemen will not hesitate to tear Hillary a new one. I can't hardly wait until some feminazis complain bitterly that the Republicans are being just beastly against the good gentlewoman from IllinoisArkansasNewYork.

The point? A lot can happen between now and a year from now, when the real campaign can get geared up. And a real campaigner will be tossing live grenades into the Clinton camp.

A little Whitewater Julep, anyone?
