Al Gore invented the Internet, said pundits and GOP'ers while those on our side cried "out of context!" which was true. Today, Bob Somerby (media critic and Gore's roomate in college) observes that Gail Collins, who just wrote a piece about Romney's soundbite, (a) never writes about the problems that affect the very poor, and (b) took Romney out of context.
Today, we’re forced to amend our remarks. Our tribe knows how to call people racists, and we know how to quote out of context. As it turns out, we have two skills!
As a tribe, we just aren’t very smart. If you disagree, riddle us this:
Why were people like Collins allowed to tear Clinton, then Gore, to shreds all those years? Why were they allowed to send Bush to the White House? (Because that's plainly what they did, although we’ve agreed not to say so.)
How did they get away with that? Did we mention the fact that our tribe isn’t real smart or real honest? By this time, is any fact any more obvious?
