MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell had this to say this week concerning Republican congresswoman Michelle Bachman:
"There are many, many ignorant members of congress and many ignorant senators, but they are protected all day long from revealing most of their ignorance by staffs who are hundreds of times smarter than they are. Perhaps all of Michelle Bachmann's staff come from her district, which may be the most ignorant congressional district in America. In 2010, 52% of that district voted for Michelle Bachmann to represent them in congress. Now, she had already proven time and time again to her district and to America that she is unworthy of representing any congressional district in America. But 52%, the same percentage in that district who voted for John McCain for president, voted for Michelle Bachmann in 2010. What makes those voters so ignorant? Well, for starters, they are whiter than the average district, 92% white, in fact."
Mr. O'Donnell then went on to state that the fact that her district was so overwhelmingly white could not explain its ignorance because Republican congresswoman Jo Ann Emerson's district is 91% white, and she's not as ignorant as Ms. Bachmann.
He also went on to say that the average income in her district is $68,000.00, which is comparable to that of democrat Barney Frank's district in Massachusetts, so that can't explain the ignorance. But in referencing Barney Frank, Mr. O'Donnell revealed his own astonishing ignorance by saying:
"So the money explains nothing because Barney Frank's intelligence and expertise in public policy, not to mention his wit, is second to none in the House of Representatives."
Really. Barney Frank was one of the driving forces behind the mortgage meltdown. His boyfriend worked at Fannie Mae (or Freddie Mac) during the time, and he steadfastly, absolutely refused to do anything to rein in the coming disaster. And, in fact, said there was nothing wrong at Fannie Mae (or Freddie Mac) and joined in the chorus of those who claimed it was racist to say otherwise.
If Barney Frank is an intelligent expert, what does a complete moron look like?
Mr. O'Donnell then went on to ask 3 questions:
(1) "How ignorant is Michelle Bachmann and how did she get that way? Remember, this is a graduate of Winona State University and the Oral Roberts University Coburn School of Law. Law school graduate. So, do not overlook her academic achievement in trying to explain this. Doesn't make it any easier to explain."
(2) "Where does Michelle Bachmann find her shockingly ignorant staff?"
(3) "And three, most important of all, What explains the rank ignorance of the 52% of the voters in Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District?"
Let's have some fun by rewording Mr. O'Donnell's questions:
(1) How ignorant is Barack Obama and how did he get that way? Remember, this is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law. Law school graduate. So, do not overlook his academic achievement in trying to explain this. Doesn't make it any easier to explain."
(2) Where does Barack Obama find his shockingly ignorant staff?
(3) And three, most important of all, What explains the rank ignorance of the 52% of the voters in America?
How else do we know that Mr. O'Donnell is ignorant?
Well, for starters, this man who slurps and burps happily at the capitalism trough actually believes that socialism is better than capitalism. Notice that he's making no effort to live in a country that actually has the kind of government he espouses.
Secondly, and more importantly, he supports Obama.
I mean, how much more ignorant can you get.
