Allow Me to Blow Your Mind

A hack who has been canned by every news outlet and temp agency that has employed her writes:

[Megan] McArdle occupies the opposite pole. "Overall, I wildly underestimated Obama's arrogance and inexperience," she says. "I don't think he's the Antichrist or anything, but his presidency certainly hasn't contained much to please me on the policy front."

At first blush, this comment is standard Meeeegan idiocy -- Somoene who has accomplished nothing criticizing someone accomplished. But it's really an admission of McArdle's own stupidity and journalistic incompetence. How can someone underestimate the experience of a public figure? "I thought Obama had been a Senator for forty years and was Secretary of the Treasury in the Carter Administration, but it turns out I was way off. How could I have known?"

McArdle also laments that she lowballed the Senator's uppityness, which apparently clashes with her kitchen decor.
