CNN host who asked if black hole sucked in lost plane questions Sean Spicer’s smarts

...Lemon was criticizing the White House press secretary for the way he answered a question on the president and wiretapping during the daily press briefing....

Now, remember back in 2014 when Don Lemon asked if a black hole was responsible for the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370? We do:

8 years I’ll never get back and never totally recover from.

How 53% of a nation can be so stupid as to elect such a lying con-man Manchurian Candidate is beyond me. Way, way, way beyond me.

I at least had decent work even when Bubba was President. Guess their full Cloward-Piven could not have been fully implemented back then.

That damage done by that clown Obama.......and in your face about it, too.....

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which low-ability individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability as much higher than it really is. Dunning and Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive incapacity, on the part of those with low ability, to recognize their ineptitude and evaluate their competence accurately. Their research also suggests corollaries: high-ability individuals may underestimate their relative competence and may erroneously assume that tasks which are easy for them are also easy for others.[1]

Dunning and Kruger have postulated that the effect is the result of internal illusion in those of low ability, and external misperception in those of high ability: “The miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others.”[1]

Sean Spicer
Spicer is the son of Kathryn (née Grossman) and Michael William Spicer. While the Spicers were living in Port Washington, he was born at North Shore Hospital in Manhasset, New York.[2] Spicer grew up in Barrington, Rhode Island.[12] His father was an insurance agent and his mother is the department manager in the East Asian studies department at Brown University.[13][1][14]

Spicer attended Portsmouth Abbey School, from 1985 to 1989.[15] Spicer volunteered for local political campaigns in Rhode Island while in high school and continued those activities while at college.[16]

He attended Connecticut College from 1989 to 1993, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in government.[17] In college he was a student senator. In April 1993, he wrote a letter to the student paper, The College Voice, urging that new campus anti-smoking rules not alter existing accommodations for smoking during examinations, then submitted an angry complaint after they rendered his byline as “Sean Sphincter”, for which he received further ribbing from the campus satirical publication Blats. The incident was later cited as the beginning of his contentious relationship with the media.[18][19]

In 2012, he received a master’s degree in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.[20]

Lemon was born in 1966 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was educated at Baker High School, a public high school in the small city of Baker in East Baton Rouge Parish.
