It's like shooting fish in a barrel at this point in American history. The stupid has become mainstream.
Here's what Stupid #1 had to say.
Although Wilson's comment to Obama was inappropriate, I am glad somebody had the nerve to speak up to Obama.
All those yes-men surround Obama, and the president thinks he's fooling everyone. Behind Obama's back is when the truth comes out. Finally, somebody said it to his face.
Thank you, Joe Wilson.
This would be great if somebody really did need to say it. But nobody did. Let me say this again: THE MAN WAS NOT LYING. He just plain wasn't.
I hate to keep coming back to comparing the right's stinkbombs to their attitudes towards their departed dear leader, but I can't help it. It was well-known and documented that The Idiot was surrounded by people who told him what he wanted to hear or manipulated him into thinking the way his handlers wanted him to think. Accusing Obama of existing in some kind of toady bubble is ludicrous and hypocritical, like almost everything else these nitwits say.
Here's Stupid #2:
Although I think Wilson was out of order and his conduct regrettable, he was also quite correct.
The House health reform legislation has loopholes, which I think Democrats are probably aware of.
Oy. No, it doesn't. What this chucklehead is talking about doesn't rise to the level of a loophole. A loophole is an oversight that allows someone to game the system. The bill explicitly states that illegals aren't covered. But, apparently, not specifically requiring proof of citizenship before the EMTs scrape you off of the sidewalk is considered a loophole to these people. Nice.
He wasn't quite correct. In fact (and I said "fact", not "opinion"), he was quite wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.
Watch Keith explain it all for you. He even forgives him his rudeness. Just not his wrongness. Thank you, Keith.

Really, I love Keith Olbermann.
I do wish, however, that he'd ended that rant with the re-envisioning of Lincoln's quote. We cannot survive the continued acceptance, endorsement,encouragement and institutionalization of stupidity.
Apparently, if you are a "true believer" in right-wing-nihilism, it is acceptable to be rude, to lie, and to foment violence.
All I really want to hear from the Reich, ahem, I mean the Right, is what do they propose to do about issues needing attention? Lately, I haven't heard a damn thing.
