AP Goes Back to Cooked Poll, This Time to Make Things Up About Public

Schultz Mocks Young, Inexperienced, Never Ran a Business, Radical Ryan
Ed Schultz on Thursday mocked Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) as a young, inexperienced kid who's never run a business, never had to meet payroll, and who offered up a radical plan that he doesn’t know the ramifications of.

Consider what New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote Monday:

Last weekend, David Ignatius in his Washington Post column made a vital contribution to the debt and deficit debate: "Take the deficit pain now.
