Liar-Mulligan

ICYMI: George Zimmerman is asking for what I guess you’d call a Liar-Mulligan (Liargan?). After first lying to the judge in the case to get bail (or, technically speaking, conspiring with his wife to lie to the judge on his behalf and staying silent himself) in the first place, he’s asking for another shot at bail, presumably promising he won’t lie this time.

But here’s the catch. The poll is from We Ask America, a GOP pollster, whose numbers this year have trended heavily Republican. They were one of the few pollsters that significantly overstated the margin of Scott Walker’s victory in the Wisconsin recall election.

Very eager to see another pollster do a sounding of Virginia.
