Edited for clarity…and I had to add this line because this super duper comment system won’t let me make formatting corrections, blah, blah, blah…

Sure it will.
The trick is adding a new line-- and a . (see below)

Ah, I see. But who is the person at the far right?

[imkmu3]

Ahhh…you spoiled my fun.

So apparently about 150 million of our fellow citizens are stupid. Well I wish that was a surprise, but unfortunately it is not. Next distraction will be coming at 11:00pm.

Although the dude at the Gas 'N Go is absolutely Elvis!
I have it on expert advice from David Farrar.

I was this close to seeing Elvis 2 years ago - then the cheap shovel broke.

@CallMeEric

This just in - 40% of people, still fucking stupid.

Further breakdown of results shows that 23% of Americans read Drudge regularly, 17% occasionally

It’s Chelsea, photoshopped onto Joffrey. L-R it’s Bill, Hillary, Carville, and Chelsea.

RobertA said:
All these polls should have some baseline question like “Does the earth revolve around the sun?” just so you know the idiocy level of the respondents.

That would be one in four.

Somewhere out there is a tea party state legislator proposing legislation that would require the sun to revolve around the earth.

I do so love the Drudge “developing” tag on all these sorts of stories. Meaningless, yet pungent with the promise of possibly conceivable meaning about, oh, dunno, SOMEthing meaningful, maybe, just have to wait’n’see and keep reading Drudge and all his favorite home-grown nazi links.

[rollinnolan]

My thoughts, exactly.

You know they are in deep trouble when they resort to dragging out the birther meme. Keeping the base in red hot hate is obviously taxing the feeders.

Chelsea? Really? Looks like a bad tattoo artist made this.

[labman57]

Seems about right when you consider what proportion of the U.S. population believes in a literal interpretation of biblical Genesis.

The nature of the irrational, hate-driven, delusional mind of the birthers is that they will continue to insist that ANY document proving Obama was born in the U.S. must be, by definition, a forgery.

Because they know what they know, and that’s all that they want to know. Absolute state of denial.

I would not be surprised to learn that the medical community has defined birtherism as yet another form of OCD.

With a margin of error equal to Dick Morris and K-Rove combined!

I recognize that your post is sarcasm, but here are some actual results from the poll:

• 14% believe the moon landings were faked, with 12% not sure.
• 13% believe the British royal family murdered Princess Diana, with 20% undecided.
• 20% believe that a flying saucer carrying space aliens crashed at Roswell, NM in 1947, with 33% unsure.
• 24% believe that the US government knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance and let it happen, with 19% unsure.
• 8% believe the CIA created the AIDS virus, with 20% undecided.
• 3% think Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced with an imposter. 15% aren’t sure of that.

All in all, a lot of people believe a lot of silly things.

You meant “virgin bowel movement,” right?

[arc_of_the_universe]

Yer shittin’ me, Dave. I knew there was something wrong with that guy ever since he tried to undermine the Constitution!

[arc_of_the_universe]

Drudge is so far behind the times. Why isn’t he hyping the known fact that Hillary Clinton was born in Benghazi?

[drail]

You might not like The Drudge Report?? But last year it got 10 billion hits !! Has anyone else come close to that , no way.

McDonalds sells more beef per year than Ruth’s Chris. Doesn’t make McDonalds better. Your type realizes the price of everything and the value of nothing.
