Now here's a newsflash from CBS -- who could have guessed that the exit polls on Election Day, which projected a John Kerry win, were actually flawed?

Contain yourself. Apparently it's true. The reason? "Kerry voters were more likely to participate in the exit polls than Bush voters," the report says.

The report also lists a number of factors that could account for that phenomenon, but, as usual, the most important one goes largely unaddressed. Perhaps the euphemistic reference to "motivational factors that are impossible to quantify" accounts for voters like me, who would rather have had my head lit on fire and put out with a sledgehammer than spend a moment of time helping the news outlets who had been so egregiously unfair to my candidate, President Bush, throughout the election season. (Other "motivational factors" might be read to include the purported Democratic strategy to try to gain the appearance of momentum through the polls in order to hold down conservative turnout.)
