Please answer my question: didn't Rush used to say that Zogby was the most reliable one out there? Didn't Rush once commission a poll by Zogby, turning to Zogby precisely because he trusted him more than most pollsters?

I think this was because Zogby predicted the GOP takeover of Congress, or had some similar forecast that set him apart. He also forecast a close race in 2000, when other pollsters had a significant Bush lead, at least until their final polls.

When the results aren't comforting, is that a reason to blame the messenger - - - especially when Rush used to hype him?

As I recall, Rush did praise Zogby extensively after the '94 election. And, admittedly, Zogby deserved it. I don't know about Rush commissioning a poll from him, but it's certainly possible. The question I would ask is, has Rush (or any other reputable conservative voice) praised Zogby since?
