KO owns Noonan on ABC This Week

[MADem]

33. The tone she takes is "I am the only smart one in the room, talking to you dullards,

and I really think you are idiots and inferior to me, but I'm going to maintain a thin veneer of faux civility while I talk down to you like you are all pant-wetting nursery school students!"

I am not a person with violent tendencies, but I really do wish someone would verbally take her to the woodshed and do it decisively. I realize Olbermann had to demonstrate an ability to work and play well with others in his maiden voyage at that table, given his recent split with CURRENT, but I was kind of hoping he'd go off on her ass.

Her arguments are not that good, in fact, a lot of them are lousy, lame and hackneyed--she delights in old paradigms that hark back to the time of her true love, Saint Ronnie--but people who I KNOW know better don't call her on a lot of her horseshit. That's why I think she's got a lot of dirt on people, and they let her get away with lazy and lousy talking points.
