Q:What's wrong with this quote (via Paul at Wizbang)?

From early afternoon to very late in the evening, those who checked in with the leading political blogs like Drudge, Wonkette, Andrew Sullivan, evote, mydd.com, Daily Kos, and others were given the distinct impression that John Kerry would win the election.

On top of that doesn't this reveal something even bigger? When the folks over at CBS want to check on 'leading political blogs' who do they go to? With the exception of Drudge, who isn't even a blogger, all of these sites are lefty sites!!! Ok, so maybe AS isn't 'lefty' so much as he's a partisan hack single issue voter who pretends he's neutral but would back Hitler so long as he was for gay marriage. Oh, I'm sorry, no bias over at CBS. Nothing to see here folks, nothing at all.

It's no wonder that CBS doesn't seem to get the whole Rathergate thing. To them, they didn't 'get their asses handed to them by the blogosphere' as Kate opines. They don't read the blogosphere, they don't get it, and when they do read the blogosphere it's a bunch of gossips (Wonkette) or leftists (Kos) so far out to the left that they feel perfectly centrist. What Rodney Dangerfield (RIP) line from Back to School? "If you want to feel thinner, hang out with a bunch of fat people"? Note to Bill--aint no way no one is going to get fired at CBS. Why should they? A simple retraction ought to be enough (when forced, oh and after the election).

Robert puts words to my thoughts exactly: When Toto pees on your foot, Eric, don't say we didn't warn you.

PS-Via Evil Glenn this WSJ piece which is good. I still say my explanation is the best among all the plausible ones I've heard. Oh, and I missed this earlier from Joyner, "Just think how messy it'd be if they weren't so professional? "
