"I don't understand how half your population are so stupid."
There's much to find distressing in the story of George Smith, the Village Voice writer and registered Democrat who accidentally became a right-wing attack dog after Matt Drudge dug up his 2003 attack on Richard Clarke.
But by far the most cringe-inducing part is the foaming e-mail Smith got from Bush-haters, who proved themselves every bit as idiotic and ignorant as their counterparts on the other side (see sidebar).
Let's hope Air America doesn't plan on pandering to this audience.
