I channel-surfed after the debate over to MSNBC (a station I never tune in to) to see how they were going to parse the debate. Olbermann and Maddow were discussing how they would love to have the chance to debate Palin, how they would love to question her (”and, yes, Governor Palin, there will be follow up questions...”)—so full of self-importance, so full of self.
Absolutely jarring how elitist these folks are. One wonders how two of them can ever fit in the same room together!
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle nailed this sort of person in a throwaway line from one of the Sherlock Holmes stories: “Mediocrity knows nothing better than itself.”
Being at best of mediocre intellect themselves, despicable swine such as Olbermann and Maddow are unable to perceive that others are much, much smarter than they.
Left with differences of opinion to account for, they attribute them to their own superior intelligence and wisdom.
Libtards always presume themselves to be smarter than anyone to their right.
Another factor, of course, is Satan playing on their pride.
