How stupid is the public, really?

I just wrote a couple of notes on the government and media’s incredible ability to insult the intelligence of the public. That is, they never cease to amaze me with ground-breaking news stories like that unleashed by the NIE report. If that wasn’t enough, here’s another spectacular bombshell from CNN.com’s  front page:

 

“Rumsfeld: Insurgency was underestimated”

 

It’s bad enough that they are shoveling tripe down our throats. Now we are asked to wash it down with a nice warm glass of ipecac.

Apparently you did not swallow enough insane things as a child. Ipecac is a must for mothers with curious children. (Some would say "stupid," but I like to think it stems from a sense of adventure...)
