Dick Polman recounts what happens when a Town Hall Teabagger is interviewed by someone knowledgeable (hint: It wasn’t Lou Dobbs). Follow the link to read the whole thing which leads him to his conclusion; it’s worth it to see how far removed from reality the wingnutosphere has made itself. His conclusion:

But I was most struck by one particular exchange. Abram had indicated at the town hall that her fight against health care reform marked her debut in the political sphere, at the age of 35. O’Donnell, picking up on that, asked how she “as an adult” could have lived through the contentious Iraq war without paying any attention to politics. (He could have pointed out that the government she so fears has actually been paying out roughly $3 billion each week since 2003 to fight a war that was falsely sold to people like her, thereby indebting the children she invoked.)

So, his question in essence was: If you’re so steamed up now about the cost of health care reform for Americans, how could you have not been steamed up about the cost of that war?

Her answer: “Honestly, I didn’t really care.”

And then this, moments later: “Maybe I’m just not that smart.”

Bingo! And the frightening thing is, there are so many mobbers just like her. Where have you gone, James Madison?

Here’s the actual interview:
