Now, I’m assuming this poll hasn’t been deliberately targeted by a blog or talk show host trying to sandbag the results, but instead is an honest reflection of the opinion of Channel 4’s viewers. And 56% of them think that either Osama has already been captured or that the Bush administration will deliberately time his capture for close to the election.
This is ridiculous. I can’t stand the guy, but even I don’t think that. Let’s get a grip folks.
I mean, they’ll obviously do this right before the Republican convention, right? Great visuals, gives them something newsworthy to talk about, reminds everyone of 9/11 without seeming crass about it. It’s perfect.
But right before the election? Nah. That’s wingnut territory.
