impeach bush, impeach pollsters

* further to my incessant ranting about zogby and the impecahment question, bob fertik at democrats.com complains that the latest WaPo poll is out and there isnt an impeachment question, and he wrote a letter to the authors of the poll asking why not, including:
"Can you explain why the Post did not ask a question about impeachment in its latest poll?
Were you asked not to include such a question, either by senior editors or Republican officials?"
he got a reply, including:
"... the general procedure Gallup uses to determine what to ask about in our surveys is to measure the issues and concerns that are being discussed in the public domain. We will certainly ask Americans about their views on impeaching George W. Bush if, and when, there is some discussion of that possibility by congressional leaders, and/or if commentators begin discussing it in the news media. That has not happened to date."
i posted a comment there letting him know where i was at with zogby. ftr, i still havent heard back from zogby from my email from last week.
