Outsmarted

When Tammy Bruce called Michelle Obama "trash", what she meant to say was "uppity". The radio talk show host probably misses the days when it was a crime to teach African-Americans to read. Happily, other than giving a boner to the other bigots who have already made up their minds about the Obamas, Ms. Bruce's vituperative nonsense is going to do the GOP more harm than good in the long run. As the presidential election proved, the idiots who read Coulter, listen to Limbaugh, and watch Fox News wasn't enough to elect the McPalins into the White House. It's a losing strategy. "Moderate" Republicans (pragmatics who want to be re-elected) understand this, but every time they try to put up that "big tent" to include voters that aren't Angry White Guys, a stupid loudmouth terrorist like Tammy Bruce will burn it down. As Malcolm Forbes said, "The dumbest people I know are those who know it all."
