Will GWB listen? ... followup!!

While reading what the always-informative Atrios had to say about today’s Wolf Blitzer poll, I observed that the comments quickly developed into a discussion of a name that was missing from the choices offered to those deciding who is the “greatest threat” to the United States.  In comment #23, someone named Observationist revealed that, amazingly enough, the HTML code defining the poll does contain a commented-out fourth choice!  Without a few well-placed brackets, the poll would read as follows:

Who’s the number one threat facing the United States: 

Saddam Hussein
Kim Jong Il
Osama bin Laden
George W. Bush

I don’t have the HTML skills to show the code itself, but it’s easily seen.  Click on this link to Blitzer’s page, then use your browser’s View Source utility and scroll down about halfway through the HTML code.  Search for the phrase “Answer 4”, for example.

Amazing!!!
