Polls

We all new that the the Bush administration doesn't believe in science, but now here is evidence that they do not believe in statistics:

First, Laura Bush...

...then Karl Rove.

These are the people related to the administration behind NCLB. Why not just say "statistics are meaningless?"

The first link is from Tsjaz, and the second is from thinkprogress.org.

This is an interesting, and smart, response from the Republican Party - make "we don't believe the polls" a talking point. If the polls are bad, suggest that they don't mean anything. When the polls are favorable (90% after 9/11? We heard quite a bit about that, Mrs. Bush).
