I've recently found myself embedded in the above conversations with morons pretending to be people who have said things that made me wince and think: ''Where do I start? If they don't get the basics, what else don't they get?...She's a "Bright" who shows how dangerous "Brights" can be.
She made a complete goose of herself on Q&A a couple of weeks ago.
Editors: when your columnist starts suggesting that her opponents are not human, it's surely time to cut her loose and let her practice her advocacy on the street corner.
Yes she is awfully smug and self-righteous but she would have to wait in line to jettisoned for that failing amongst columnists.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice if columnists of all political persuations decided that they did not have a monopoly on common sense and the truth.

She would do well to learn nice.
