I love watching Olbermann et all on MSNBC. Keeps me sane. But they're starting to bug the shit out of me with what can come off as a smarmy insider-ness that is unnecessary and -- I can imagine -- offensive to some people we might want on our side.
So, We all know that Sarah Palin is an idiot--a joke of a candidate. She's ridiculous, embarrassing, etc.
Tonight, however, Olbermann and his guests mock her for not knowing a single Supreme Court decision other than Roe v. Wade, saying things like, "I mean, she could have at least mentioned Marbury v. Madison or Plessy v. Ferguson or ......." Yeah, Keith--that bimbo really should have mentioned Marbury or Plessy...let's see...I have a doctorate..hmm...is that Stephon Marbury who plays for the Knicks? Or ..Plessy...gee...right...that's a real household name, Keith....what fucking idiot wouldn't--off the cuff-- know about the famous Plessy v. Ferguson, right? I remember these names from high school American History, but they're not exactly on the tip of my tongue.
So, rather than doing your circle-jerk with other liberals "in-the-know" thereby confirming the view of many that we're condescending douche-bags, you might be more discriminating about which display of ignorance Palin reveals.
