   Reynolds said:

   Whenever the war opponents start talking, Bush seems to do better.

   Is that his version of the old Yogi Berra classic: “Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.”

   Except Dugger, I regularly have pointed out to polls where the majority is against me.

   “Doubts their integrity?” Where did Reynolds say anything of the sort?

   Why don’t you “point out” where Glenn Reynolds “doubted the integrity” of the polls you cite?

   O,

   True but you also miss some polls that, for instance, show things like media bias (evidence) from Pew. And others. Point: Reynolds cherry picks polls. You cherry pick polls. (Fine.) You criticize Reynolds on polls. Reynolds does not criticize you.

   When did Reynolds doubt the integrity of polls? June 8, to be exact.

   This far from an election, it’s hard for me to get too excited about polls, one way or another. And given their track record even close to elections, it should probably be hard for me to get excited about them, period.

   To be sure, OW might have chosen another word besides “integrity.” There’s no evidence the polls were gamed. I’d say Glenn was doubting the “significance” of polls.

   The point remains the same. Reynolds said “The polls don’t matter” when they showed something he didn’t like. As soon as he sees as blip in support of Iraqmire, he can’t wait to crow about it.

   Tweety, on Harball last night:

   MATTHEWS: Tomorrow night, we`re going to have Don`t boo, now, please, ladies and gentlemen. It`s been a good night here Howard Dean is going to come on our program tomorrow, a different point of view. We have diversity run amuck on Hardball. Tomorrow night, Howard Dean`s going to be giving his first reaction, as the Democratic National Chairman, to the president`s remarks tonight, his speech tonight from Fort Bragg.

   Your “liberal” media, everybody.

   To be sure, OW might have chosen another word besides  integrity.

   In other words, he didn’t say what he said he said but he’s gonna say he said it anyways.

   Nice.

    I’m not sure whether the most appropriate response is “Sticks and stones…” or “I’m rubber, you’re glue…”

    The point stands and all of your taunting won’t change it.

    “Taunting?”

    I think you’re being really oversensitive and a bit too defensive.

    There. Now I’ve taunted you. Doesn’t change the fact that Oliver Willis lied about what Glenn Reynolds said.

    Then let’s put this in other terms:

    June 8: Glenn no like polls.
    Today: Glenn like polls.

    See?

    So, how would Oliver respond to the recent Democrat polling that shows that the only thing less popular than President Bush in the polls are the Democrats?
