Ever since I worked in an “art gallery” after college and bore witness to scores of tourists dropping thousands of dollars on hideous tasteless “art,” that just happened to match their “day-cor,” I have resigned myself to the knowledge that the world is populated by, um, idiots.  Not you, of course, gentle reader.  Other people.  Are.  Idiots.  You have encountered them in customer service, at the DMV, and in the White House.

But even I, based on the above potentially the biggest snob currently drawing breath, don’t think that the American people are as dense as this guy does.  A conservative radio talk show host, introducting the leading Republican candidate for President, using Obama’s full name – Hussein included – as an indication of respect.  Riiiight. 

For a much more insightful and intelligent response than I could offer on my best day, read Juan Cole.
