Dana Perino: pwn3d

Over at the Group News Blog, Lower Manhattanite rips cutie-pie Dana Perino a well-deserved new one.

You really ought to go over there and read the whole thing, but here's an excerpt to whet your appetite:

Now, maybe it's a bit much to ask, but shouldn't a Presidential Press Secretary at least be as conversant in recent American history as a New Jersey high school history teacher and his students?

Yeah, it's a rhetorical question—I know. Of course she should. But what should really give you pause is Perino's handling of this bit of revealing idiocy [regarding her ignorance of the Cuban Missile Crisis]. She giggled about her head-banging stupidity as if it were something cute and en-fucking-dearing. Crooks and Liars has the audio that will make you want to chew off your own foot, HERE.

It's all you ever need to know about these people. Idiots. And proud of it. A badge of fucking honor, this glittering stupidity, and the utter lack of a thirst for knowledge. The silly-ass talking point bot waited to get all the way home to ask “Daddy” what the damn thing was? I mean, I know they're all ”let's be careful what we do on our work computers” down at 1600 Scandalvania Avenue, but shitfire...you have heard of “teh” Google, haven't you Dana?!

It's this kind of celebrated dumbfuckery that makes me want to kick Andrew Sullivan and the rest of that pack of “Black folks iz stupidah than da White folkz” believers dead in their Goddamned chests. It's a pathology if some of us get a shitty education and end up not too bright—the race is fucked!—but it's an oh-so-ironic titter-fest when people as prominent as the President of The United States and his press secretary get above-par educations, yet expose themselves as being as dumb as a box of broken hammers in spite of it.

Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.
