A Typical CNN Poll Question


via Wonkette:

They call it a QuickVote, sure. They pretend to offer a simple "yes" or "no" vote on arm-twisting diplomat John Bolton. But just try to answer! Typical liberal obstructionists...

Or maybe the possible answers are supposed to be:

YES -- the fight is about principles or politics.

NO -- the fight is about Bolton's mustache.
