CBS

That CBS reporter who was criticizing the Dakota Alliance a few weeks ago looks more and more absurd.  Note this from Polipundit:

David Paul Kuhn, the “Chief Political Writer” for CBS, proves just how laughably clueless the Old Media is. Check out these gems from his article purporting to analyze the 2004 election:

Only by redrawing Texas House districts to their own benefit, resulting in five new Republican seats, was the GOP able to hold the House.

Actually, without Texas redistricting, the GOP would have retained a clear majority in the House. The GOP picked up 4 House seats nationally this year, including exactly 4 seats from Texas redistricting.

And then there’s this gem:

“Every election we see these articles about realignment and it’s almost never true,” Sabato said. “And I doubt it was true this time, 48 to 48 [in the Senate], changing to 51 to 48, really is not that much of a difference.”

Notice the “[in the Senate]” parenthesis. Kuhn is apparently under the hopelessly misguided impression that the GOP had 48 Senate seats before the election, and 51 now. As any polipundit.com reader knows, the GOP had 51 Senate seats before the election, and picked up 4 more in 2004. Sabato was obviously referring to the popular vote margin in the 2000 and 2004 presidential races.

And to think Kuhn wrote a piece a couple of weeks ago criticizing bloggers as irresponsible!

Powerline has more.
