The Most Foolish American: George W. Bush?

by Rio Flores on April 4th, 2007

[Via Crooksandliars.com]“Phoenix Fox 10 News runs a poll to see who is “the most foolish American” and the host proclaims—Britney Spears the winner! That wouldn’t be surprising except that the real winner of the poll was…..drum roll please……George Bush….”

This is surprising, given the traditional bent of fox news viewers. At first, I thought it might be a typo, but it looks legit. If you add up all totals, you’ll get 99%.

“No demographic segment, other than Republicans, was as united in supporting Bush. Conservatives, white evangelical Christians, gun owners, and supporters of the Iraq war all gave Bush fewer votes than did regular Fox News viewers.”
