U.S. News’ absurd poll: Which female politician would run the best daycare center?»

Media Matters’ County Fair points out a poll on U.S. News and World Report’s website asking readers who would run the best daycare center: First Lady Michelle Obama, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, or Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. (Apparently, in the fantasy world of political daycare centers, only women are equipped to run them.) The poll is illustrated with action-figure-like images of the four women: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/02/21/sexist-usnews-poll/


As of 3:20 p.m., Sarah Palin had 47.5 percent of the vote; Michelle Obama followed with 46 percent.

2. That's really offensive on many levels

Those bobblehead things don't even resemble them, for starters.

3. Next: "Which male politician would do the best job of lying in a hammock and sucking beer all day?"

This is pretty bad...
