Mean Jean not so popular at home

The Cincinnati Enquirer has a poll up asking whether its readers have a more favorable or less favorable view of Jean Schmidt following her comments on the House floor last Friday. Now remember, Cincinnati is one of the most conservative cities around. As of the present time, the poll shows about 78 percent in the "less favorable" column.

The paper also informs us that Schmidt is planning a trip to Iraq after the turn of the year. I wonder if she will venture outside the "green zone." I rather doubt it. She'll go there, talk to some of the senior brass to get the party line, shake a few hands and fly home believing the same bull she believes now.
