Blooper: While Trying To Discredit Dems, Fox News Accidentally Shows Dem-Friendly Poll Data

Great Moments In Fox News ... Oops. This afternoon on Fox News, host David Asman and Ann Coulter were going through the standard GOP talking points of Hillary Clinton and the Democrats being dragged down by those anti-war crazies in MoveOn. Then Asman was proceeding to the next talking point: "All right, let's talk about how all of this might be affecting the Democrats in Congress. I believe we have a poll that we can put up. Of course, it's true that George Bush's ratings are at an all-time low. But as bad as Bush's ratings are, look at Congressional ratings."



The problem is, the technical staff accidentally put up the wrong numbers — numbers showing Hillary Clinton jumping into the lead. "Oh wait a minute, this is — this is the wrong poll. This is Clinton and Giuliani," Asman blurted out. Confronted with poll data that ruined his whole thesis, Asman and Coulter simply continued on with the talking point as if nothing had happened.
