A Million Gays for Bush?
(Why aren't you reading this at the new website?)

---
So, on the one hand, everyone is acknowledging the absolutely...disgraceful...inaccuracy...of the exit polls in the presidential election.

Unless of course, you're a gay blogger -- one, two, three, four -- of whom are invoking those same nonsense polls, specifically the "finding" (i.e., the completely worthless guess) that over one million gays supposedly voted for President Bush (see also here).

Maybe a million gays voted for Bush. I don't know, and CNN and WaPo most definitely don't know.

Let's not pretend otherwise guys.

POSTSCRIPT: I do know that a million gays didn't vote for Badnarik.

UPDATE #1: More use and abuse of the numbers at Dynamist Blog (see also the response at Outside the Beltway).

UPDATE #2: Downtown Lad is also having trouble crunching the numbers.
