Pride in being ignorant

I don't know why conservatives think it's smart to undersell global warming. But making my way  through Zachary Roth's utter ownage of George Will's latest, I thought about this gem from the campaign. These guys don't get it. Even the Market for Stoopid is touched by the Recession. In fact, since stoopid is a luxury, it's likely to get hit the hardest.

On another note, this clip reminds me of that great Chris Rock bit about how niggers love to not know--which is weird, and yet also, quite beautiful.
