The Democrat platform as long been

“If you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance,
baffle ‘em with bullsh!t”

[Perdogg]

I don’t see how reading “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” or “Goodnight Nobody” makes me a better person.

[Always Right]

Even if true, there are several good reasons for this, here's a couple:

1. Too many books are written by leftwing shills and aren't worth the time to read.
2. Conservatives actually do think for themselves.

[Greg F]

liberals read nine books and conservatives read eight.

Sample Liberal Reading List: 9 Oprah books of the month.

Sample Conserervative Reading List: The Bible, The Federalist Papers, Chesterton’s “Orthodoxy,” William Manchester’s “The Last Lion,” Hayek’s “The Fatal Conceit,” Benjamin Franklin’s “Autobiography,” a Tom Clancy novel read at the beach and some horrifying book assigned as reading from their child’s public school.

Notes Saunders, "[a]ccording to Schroeder, as a conservative, I've got a bumper sticker for brains."

Then why are most of the bumper stickers I see trite anti-Bush messages stuck all over beat-up Volvos? ;)

I saw a liberal friend of mine, who considers herself brainy, reading "The DaVinci Code."

I asked her if she was enjoying it, and she said, "The story is a bit dumb, but I find the actual history in it fascinating."

I just nodded at her, like she was my kitten properly using the litterbox.

[Mr Rogers]

Liberal single women read a lot of romance novels.

I am SOOOO impressed!

[Verginius Rufus]

If the statistics come from the numbers the people polled offered (and I don’t see how they could have verified them), it may just mean that liberals are more likely to inflate the number of books they read...or that conservatives are more honest. How many people know for sure how many books they have read in a year...unless the number is zero?

[Corin Stormhands]

I've read eight books in the last month...

When I called Michael Gross, associate vice president of Ipsos public affairs, to find out more about the Ipsos poll, he told me the one-book difference "is within the margin of error, it's not a statistically significant difference."

I despise those stupid Caveman commercials by GEICO. If I ever need a new car insurance company, I would avoid GEICO.

[LibLieSlayer]

RUSH covered this last week. This poll. by the nature of the company doing the polling, is suspect. However, what they (dim operatives) refuse to ever report, is the fact that the difference (in this poll) between Republicans and dims reading books was within the margin of error for the poll.

Hasn’t the Caveman TV show already been canceled?

And BTW, the main problem with the Caveman show was that it wasn’t racilally stereotypical, it’s more of a homo stereotype.

[Walkingfeather]

Do you really think liberals reading...” Bears on wheels” counts?

[jmcenanly]

As a conservative, perhaps The Stiletto is being too literal but she believes the show is not about racial prejudice at all. It’s about prejudice against people who are – or are perceived to be – intellectually inferior by the elites. Clearly those Cro-Magnons are conservatives

Part of the gag in the GEICO ads is the perception that the cavemen are stupid vs the reality that they are quite smart. In real life, a caveman could not go through life on 'cruise control' like his modern day counterpart. He would have to think about a situation, rather than emote.

I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for Debra ever since I first read her columns in the Daily News in L.A.; she was wont to quote her dad from time to time as having cautioned her as a child and adult that “[In] A hundred years, all new people,”

As a writer, she does her best to show us that that doesn’t mean a fresh, new start.

[Jo Nuvark]

I read for information which usually comes from
white papers and periodical literature. How does
that factor into “reading”? When I read a novel
it is usually an historial novel - so I can get
my information fix.

[RJL]

The poll found that among people polled who read at least one book in the last year

The exception proves the lie.

Why were those who read no books left out of the statistics? I'm guessing it was about 90% liberals who hadn't even read one book, so that was information was completely left out of the Associated Press-Ipsos poll.

LOL... What bias?

[Oberon]

The poll found that among people polled who read at least one book in the last year, liberals read nine books...

Yeah, but that's hardly fair. At least five of those were already colored in.
