Ironic Headline Alert: Poll: Nation split on Bush as uniter or divider

[Worst Username Ever]

Something about that headline is hilarious. And not.

Most say inauguration festivities should be toned down.

CNN) -- On the eve of President Bush's inauguration, a poll shows the nation is split over whether he has united or divided the nation, but a majority believe his inauguration festivities should be toned down because of the war.

1. That is hilarious - CNN surpasses the Onion

:eyes:

[Sandpiper]

2. I think that would make him a divider by default

Wouldn't it?

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

3. thats what im thinking! n/t

[Borgnine]

4. I think the very fact that the poll is split...

...proves the point of those who say he's divided.

[spooked911]

Who can seriously say Bush is a UNITER?

Except he united the democrats pretty well, I guess.

[madinmaryland]

6. Actually,

you could consider him a uniter:

1.) The democrats are united.
2.) The repubs are united.
3.) The world is now united against the policies of the US government.

BUT he totally divided this country.

7. I'd love to think he united the Democrats

but there are people who say if the party doens't give Dean the Chairman ship, they'll leave, or if they nominate Kerry in 08 they'll leave, etc.

We're too busy standing in a circle shooting ourselves to ever be united. That's the one thing the Repugs have- they are united (of course, this would be in their hatred of America and our true American values, but I digress...)

11. All Kerry has to do is fight back as he did yesterday and today.

That's all I ever wanted and hoped for. A fighter.

17. The people who say that stuff are nuts, and they aren't real Democrats

they will disappear like any fad. True Democrats are in it for the long haul.

[Pam-Moby]

5. Yes, I would say

that there should be no inauguration festivities at all for the chimp

[Z_I_Peevey]

8. That is just priceless.

I had to go look myself just to be sure.

How will future generations ever be able to portray these times in which we live? It's parody looped around on itself, twisted up in additional absurdity, then shaken to boot.

9. They must have a new web-site designer

With a sense of humor.

Yesterdays headline said "More Human Intelligence Needed"

Over a photograph of Bush.

10. She's my sister-she's my daughter-she's my sister...

I guess someone at CNN has a sense of humor.

[theresistance]

12. Agreed, that headline was comical...

I wonder of CNN realises themselves?

[MaineYooper]

13. if there's not even agreement on whether or not he's a divider

then I'd say that's a pretty good indication that he's not a uniter.

What MSMoron came up with that headline?!?

[The Doctor.]

14. I believe that they understand what that headline insinuates...

It's unfortunate that the real journalists have to speak more and more in code.

[ktowntennesseedem]

15. 2% were undecided, WTF???

[obiwan]

16. Is the proper term...

... "split nation" or rather, "bipolar disorder nation?"

I suspect the latter.
