And the dumbness just rumbles along. <br /><br />There was no way to know how crazy, and how insulting this jihad was going to get. The ridiculous drift of this nonsense was becoming fairly clear. It may be hard for liberals to understand this. But this is has been one of the dumbest episodes in a long miserable history. <br /><br />Good God, that presentation was dumb! In a world which wasn’t a scam it seemed utterly clueless. How utterly clueless was it? <br /><br />Incredibly, that wasn’t the stupid part of that program. The stupid part—the part which truly insulted people's intelligence—was yet to come.<br />If you don’t feel your intelligence is being insulted, it may be time that you conducted a search for same.<br /><br />The sheer stupidity of this behavior is its distinguishing characteristic.

And its not like I can't get into their other shows that are widely disliked. I actually think The Cycle is overlooked (its not a masterpiece, but its actually pretty good). But can't get into Maddow. Only part I like is the corrections. Don't even like her other segments on the show. There is catchy writing, but the segements themselves kind of suck, IMO of course, and the only bright spot is there is some cool interactions with interns. But unfortunately this'll be a show I guess I just can't come around to. But I accept it has its fans, just as I am one of the fans that like The Cycle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-40475396682081687762015-07-31T17:19:41.778-04:002015-07-31T17:19:41.778-04:00@ 4:43 is right.
