Livin’ La Vida Poca

Don Surber

Don “We’re Fighting the Terrrorists in Iraq So We Don’t Have to Fight Them in Poca” Surber, the Poca, West Virginia blogger and Charleston Daily Mail columnist, is picking his nose banjo with delight over figures that he thinks prove that Americans love his hero George Bush so much more than they love that terrorist-appeasing witch from San Francisco Nancy Pelosi:

“Today’s approval numbers via Rasmussen are:

45% approval for Bush
43% approval for Pelosi

Another MSM conventional wisdom flushed down the toilet.”

Sadly for Poca’s most famous resident, he apparently isn’t able to read his own links. If he did, he would have noticed that the Bush numbers were 45% approval and 54% disapproval giving him a net rating of -9% while Pelosi’s numbers were 43% approval and 39% disapproval giving her a net rating of +4%. That’s a thirteen percent spread which, of course, completely let’s the gas out of Surber’s post.

As an even greater humiliation, this was pointed out by InstaHayseed Glenn Reynolds, which forced Poca Don to update his post. Being corrected by InstaHayseed must be the ultimate wingnut humiliation. It’s also proof that in the land of the wingnuts, the one-nutted man is king.
