It's Getting Stupid Now: ABC Digs Into Astrology Bag For Political Forecast

Maybe chalk it up to a slow news Friday. Or maybe laziness. Stupidity and incompetence could also be factors.

Dear God, help us, though, if this nitwit is right about the first stab at aligning the stars.

ABC News' Nitya Venkataraman Reports: Predicting political destinies isn't just for the Sunday morning set this election season. Earlier this summer, astrologer Susan Miller offered her thoughts to ABC News on the '08 landscape and predicted the fall of a political leader during the first week of August, Hillary Clinton's Senate departure and New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg on a November ticket.

It seemed appropriate -- the week before back-to-back political conventions with no vice presidential announcements as of yet -- to revisit Miller's predictions for 2008's political all stars.

She felt that Bloomberg's chances of being on a November ticket were good.

"I think Bloomberg might be chosen as a running mate for one of them," she said, his independent status making him a possible choice for either the Republican or Democratic candidate. Her reasoning for a Bloomberg Rising cites the Aug. 16 lunar eclipse as opposite Bloomberg's Feb. 14 birthday.

When an eclipse falls on or opposite your birthday, Miller says "your number is coming up for big change".

It's pretty much downhill from there.
