This Week’s Idiots:
MSNBC’s Jessica Levinson is an idiot.
The Nation’s Joan Walsh is an idiot.
The Nation’s Jeet Heer (Repeat Offender Alert) is an idiot.
Salon’s Heather Parton is an idiot.
Salon’s Amanda Marcotte (Repeat Offender Alert) is an idiot. And again; the second one is stupid even for Amanda Marcotte, a serial idiot.
Robert Reich (Repeat Offender Alert) remains a sawed-off runt, and an idiot.
MSNBC’s Hayes Brown (Repeat Offender Alert) is an idiot.
This Week’s Cultural Edification:
