When did it become an admirable trait for a politician to berate his constituency??

[kentuck]

I have seen some on MSNBC act as if a certain politician was being brave and forward when he chewed out a teacher who asked a question, for example.

I don't see this as a positive at all. It is just not something you do when you are paid by that person's tax dollars. They may not have voted for you but they still help pay your salary. So, how about a little respect, huh?

1. right after we embraced willful, nay gleeful, ignorance

It was just before the criteria for selecting a President became "the kinda guy you'd have a beer with".

On edit: Lest we not forget when "go jerry, jerry, jerry" became the battle cry, or the answer you wanted to hear was "you are NOT the father".

4. He's going to be on a lot of the chat shows tomorrow. I hope someone says something to rile

him up. He could lose the nomination on a Sunday morning....LOL..

"Oh, you got Democrats to vote for you!"

10. They both must have spent time wearing the dunce cap,

sitting in corners, being sent to the principal's office, and cheating.

People who were successful in school hold teachers in much higher esteem.

Christie is just a thug and not a very bright one.

5. This is what is wrong with this country.

They forget they're public servants.

Shouldn't be a surprise. Since the concept of noblesse oblige disappeared, what millionaire is going to consider himself anyone's servant?

7. sometimes it's appropriate- like when birthers spew publically to a politician

11. It's an admirable trait when the politician is a Republican white male, a tough on terra and strong

on national defense chicken-hawk, who berates and bullies a woman school teacher not one-third his weight: what a macho man with such flamingly large co-hones.

12. About 10 seconds after the first politician

came into being!

13. This is how Womack (puke -3rd AR) treats his

He literally screams at people; he told me to shut up and I was going to listen to him. It seems to be a republican trait.
