Hmm, I love the way the poll is worded:
Are state ethics investigations a waste of money or necessary for keeping politicians in check?
Waste of money or Necessary
Clearly this poll is because of Palin, but because the wording I either support the ridiculous investigations on her, or I think they are a waste of time for every politician. Obviously they’re not a waste on politicians who may have actually committed an ethics violation.
