Salon editor Joan Walsh should get down on her knees and say a prayer of thanks to whatever God she worships, for He, in his wisdom, endowed her with a blessed ignorance that protects her from seeing what a moron she is. Surely, if she had any degree of self-awareness she would never venture beyond the confines of her own home again, much less attempt to speak in public.
Walsh guested on Hardball, where despite video proof offered by host Chris Matthews that senate candidate Richard Blumenthal blatantly lied about serving in Vietnam, she said, “They’re distorting his words. It’s very difficult to say he lied.” In addition to being ignorant, she also made herself asinine by making those little finger quote motions around the word “lied.”
Save yourself the trouble of watching the entire clip. Go straight to the 6:58 mark of the video. (You owe us one.)
It gets even better at the 7:29 mark when Mathews, painful as it must have been for him, had no choice but to point out that Walsh was wrong, causing her to revert to an expression that one imagines monopolizes most of her face time – the confused dog/tilted head look.
Of course the true depth of Walsh’s “intelligence” was forever memorialized in an earlier video that went viral – her classic exchange with Mika Mxyzptlk, co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe show.
Mika, the very model of vapidity, openly mocks Walsh right to her face. And let’s face it, when someone as dense as Mika finds you mockworthy, you must begin to realize just how low you reside on the evolutionary scale.
