The Smartest Guys in the Room?
The American Thinker ^ | March 02, 2010 | Carol Peracchio

I recently read an article by Joe Klein titled "It's Her Party: The Brilliance of Sarah Palin." I assumed it would be the usual anti-Palin screed we've come to expect from the mainstream media, but before I finished the first paragraph I was stunned at the contempt...contempt aimed not only at Governor Palin, but at us, conservative Tea Partiers. Mr. Klein, I'm certain, is so confident in his rhetorical skills that he believes that we'll never catch on to how he feels about non-Obama fans out here. But get a load of phrases such as:

"... anti-élitist Tea Party élites ... gathered in suffocating self-righteousness ..."

"Then again, any sentence that begins with 'Most economists' is a license to snore in tea party nation."

"A woman who goes to war against the 19-year-old boy who knocked up her daughter and then posed for Playgirl is far more comprehensible to most Americans than deficit spending is."

Klein is an elitist punk. If you cornered him on the street he'd s*it his pants in abject fear. Squirrely looking moron at that

Years ago I worked at a newspaper, and I would frequently say to reporters, "I saw your article on Smith. You really gave it to him! That guy must be quite a jerk."

And the reporter would blink and ask, "You could tell?? I thought I was very neutral in that piece!"

Only a fool doesn’t realize that we need WISDOM leading this country in these perilous times, NOT “intellect”, ESPECIALLY when there is no evidence to suggest the superior intellect of those currently in charge.
