Did I say &#8216;conservatives are always &#8216;dumb as dirt&#8221;? Or that Cain was? You&#8217;re a media critic. Get it right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/TimJGraham\/statuses\/123241932968304640\">His response in kind<\/a>: &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t just talking about you and this show. I was generalizing that liberals always thinking they&#8217;re the smartest. Arrogant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, his &#8220;generalizing&#8221; article neither makes that claim, nor bothers to support any part of his contention. Lazy wingnut journalism &#8212; and nice quotes by both Malloy and me about the pathetic state of Republican support for corporatist cronyism and corruption over the general welfare of middle-class American citizens &#8212; is all we&#8217;re left with.
