Eye-Rohhhn-Neez

Sometimes you just can't believe that people famous and well-remunerated for their insight and intelligence can be so cluelessly fatuous and self-ignorant. Susie Madrak is one of many who caught George Will, with no nod to irony, condemn Sen.-elect Webb for being a "a pompous poseur and an abuser of the English language," but she's the only one I read who gave it the appropriate spit-take. And here, Big Tent Democrat is far too tolerant of the critique of online commenters given by the man who gave us "Crossfire." How did these people get into their positions with such blinders and ignorance, as people whose “wisdom” is worth paying for?? Or did I just put up a mirror to us???
