If you wondered how Sarah Palin, Donald Trump or Michele Bachmann get through the day without noticing that they are indeed clowns of the highest order, here’s your answer. They are surrounded by other clowns who take them seriously. There are people who spend all day telling Sarah Palin that she is right up there intellectually with Barack Obama. These people work for Fox News.
Fox News has become so inbred with clowns that it is now a breeding ground for epistemic closure where Neil Cavuto tells his audience that the Fox Candidates are not clowns. Yes, the reason the media is laughing at them is because they are scared of them! Neil makes this case even though I suspect Neil can read a poll and knows that the Fox Clowns do not have a snowball’s chance in hell of being elected in a national campaign. I mean, just because the Fox audience is brainwashed enough to listen to Sarah Palin and not try to hurt someone doesn’t mean the rest of the country is. Indeed, the bad news for Neil is that there are still many people who managed to eek out an education before the Republicans killed off every possibility of this country’s exceptionalism and this means, we don’t buy the clown show.
