[lbo-talk] Sane and really dumb

[Shane Mage]

The stupidity is in the eyes of the beholders.
That creep interviewed a few oddly dressed bystanders on the fringes  
of the crowd.  More than once.  Only one intelligent answer was  
permitted (for "balance").  The answers were, as called for, stupid.   
Not nearly as stupid as treating them as anything more than a FOXist  
smear job.
