Helen Thomas and Eleanor Clift are probably two of the least talented, openly stupid, and unbalanced people in the MSM today. Helen cannot comprehend the utter imbecility of her comments. It is simply stunning. On the other hand I an heartened by the reaction of the Left. The kooks are now the mainstream, they are unable to comprehend the depth of the hole they dug for themselves. That should keep conservatives in power for a long time.

"Helen Thomas and Eleanor Clift are probably two of the least talented, openly stupid, and unbalanced people in the MSM today."

But they have tenure. Once a media person has that its hard to get rid of them.

"On the other hand I an heartened by the reaction of the Left. The kooks are now the mainstream, they are unable to comprehend the depth of the hole they dug for themselves. That should keep conservatives in power for a long time."

It's intriguing in the sense that the elites running the Left have somehow managed to confuse being "published" with being hip, with being hip meaning "smart," and they've further confused all disagreement to their views as being unintelligent.

The net result is that the modern Left exudes arrogance, openly disdains the majority of the U.S., and thinks that everything that they say is worthy of genius.

Or put another way, I agree with your above comment that the current Left is certain to keep the Right in power for some great time to come.
