Boring insults

Here we go again. At this point, there isn't much to do but mock the stupidity of these writers, and lament that the Oklahoman is such a shitty newspaper. So with an eye roll, we get this piece of crap from Bob Fassio of Choctaw:

Regarding “AG’s speech celebrates Constitution” (News, Sept. 18): Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt spoke to a government and politics class at Southeast High School about the writing of the U.S. Constitution.

Let's start here-- and this isn't Mr Fassio's issue, but holy fucking shit. Try to search the Oklahoman on-line and find the title "AG's speech celebrates Constitution" anywhere. You can't. Just link to the article. Link to it! Even if you hit the paywall, link to it! It's not hard.

Anyhow, so we have the set-up: Oklahoma's Attorney General spoke at some school about the Constitution. That's cool. It was "Constitution Day" or whatever. Then we get this:

It’s regrettable that no one thought to send an invitation to Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. If ever anyone needed to be brought up to speed on its contents, they’re certainly the first people to come to mind. They’ve done more than their part to trash the Constitution.

Jesus fucking fuck. Is this for real? Here's my guess, Bob: you know a fraction of what the other four people mentioned in this letter know. AG Pruitt studied constitutional law at Tulsa. Obama graduates magna cum laude from this place called Harvard. Then he taught-- get this-- constitutional law at a place called the University of Chicago. Pelosi got a degree in political science and has been in the House since 1987. Harry Reid got a degree in political science and history and then when to this place call Georgetown where he got a law degree. He's been in Congress since 1983. Both Pelosi and Reid have probably had more discussions about constitutional law last week than Mr Fassio has his entire pathetic life.

So where does Mr Fassio get the idea that these three politicians have gone about to "trash" the Constitution? Well, no doubt from ridiculous, propagandistic news outlets like Fox News and the Oklahoman. We've already dealt with stuff like this, where some willfully ignorant Oklahoman rants about Obama wanting to "pick and choose" whatever parts of a law he wants to enforce-- even if, in fact, his actions are not only legal but totally normal.

So what else? Like, what else is Nancy Pelosi doing that Mr Fassio can point to that truly unconstitutional? And that's the beauty of the Pravda-on-the-North-Canadian-- running letters like that that just throw out accusations that their own thralls already want to be true is all they need. Obama impeachment talk is rampant among right-wing politicians, and this sort of They are trashing the Constitution! talk just feeds the frenzy among the thralls. Mr Fassio can't name a single instance of a Democratic politician who is "trash[ing]" the Constitution. Nevertheless we get this grade-school "zinger" from Bob:  

Perhaps we can get Pruitt to go to Washington and conduct a special class for them.

Yeah. I bet the guy who edited the Harvard Law Review and two politicians who have held national office since the 80's need pointers on the Constitution from a guy who can't even get elected to state office.

What sort of paper runs these sorts of low brow, childishly insulting letters?
