Are We Forgetting Willful Ignorance is a Virtue? Camon, People!!

One thing that Sniffy snarked about in her "speech" the other night was this idea that "real Americans" are pissed that the healthcare negotiations aren't being shown on C-SPAN (ironically, later in the evening she snarked that her Army son has never watched a minute of C-SPAN, rolling her eyes as if to say only elite Euro-fagz watch that shit. Amazingly, she ironically lapped her own snark, battling it with it's own exact opposite, allowing it to be eaten by wolves in some weird vortex of snark. Kudos.) Cause yes, people are clamoring to watch politicians with the charisma of a dead body in a raggled suit parsing domestic policy. Cause that's the kind of people we are, right? We're all political wonks, looking to get our chops as legislators sharpened - the drier, the more detail-oriented, the better!!  Can we do this shit in Latin?

Please. I mean, if any hour of such a thing went head to head with a few other shows, I'm pretty sure the rankings would look like this:

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ANYWHERE, WHO GIVES A SHIT, JUST FUCKING WATCH
KIM KARDASHIAN SMELLS HER OWN ASS
KIM KARDASHIAN SMELLS HER OWN ASS, WINNIE THE POOH DOES TOO
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF WHATEVER OTHER CITY WE DIDN'T JUST SHOW YOU
REUNION SHOW OF KIM KARDASHIAN AND WINNIE THE POOH SMELLING HER ASS
HEY LOOK, IT'S CLIPS OF BOB HOPE. I GUESS, WHATEVER.
C-SPAN COVERAGE OF HEALTHCARE REFORM


I mean come the fuck on. This is America, dammit!
