I wasn't the only one who noticed the inconsistency...

So did Slate's William Saletan.

Depends on What the Meaning of "Polls" Is
Bush says he doesn't use polls. An adviser says he did.

For the record, I posted mine first.

Bush Takes Strategic No-Remorse Stance

From the NY Times: "One adviser said the White House had examined polling and focus group studies in determining that it would be a mistake for Mr. Bush to appear to yield."

This from the same president who said on Monday: "And as to whether or not I made decisions based upon polls, I don’t. I just don’t make decisions that way."

Man, what a bald-faced liar.
