As we've noted, Conventional Wisdom guided missile "Dude" Chris Cillizza loves lists. He's got one in the Kaplan Daily every Monday! Today he's got the 10 most influential GOP pols! And Number 1 is (no, not that Number 1!): Winky You Betcha!! Yes, the same Winky that only gets about 20% in polling of Rethugs' favorite for 2012! The same Winky whose unfavorable numbers are at an all-time high! That won't stop the Dude from slurping Winky!
Notice how fluid the Conventional Wisdom is in the world of Dude Cillizza, comparing last June's list to today's: Dick "The Dick" Cheney is out, as is Perfesser Poot Gingrich; Blowdry Bob McDonnell dropped from #4 to #10; Winky You Betcha wasn't even in the top 5! That Conventional Wisdom is hard to keep up with, even for a Beltway Kool Kid like the Dude.
