Whine and cheese

This morning, I listened to Joe Scarborough say, with a straight face, that some of Obama's supporters are so "ideological and mean." He seemed puzzled and saddened by this. He either has a highly developed sense of irony or absolutely none at all - he was elected to Congress three times by supporters who could quite reasonably be described as ideological and mean. That served Scarborough's purposes just fine when the ideology was on his side, rather than his opposition. Get over yourself, Joe - conservatives play rough and just plain dirty, so don't whine when you see liberals using the same approach.
