A Woman of Well-Rounded Ignorance

I was watching The View this morning…not because I expected to get any worthwhile commentary out of it (that expired the day Rosie O’Donnell walked off), but because Cloris Leachman would be the latest Bad Dance Show castoff featured. Seemed like it’d be good for a few Blücher laughs.

“Hot Topics” began, and Vast-Right-Wing-Conspiracy-Tool Elizabeth Hasslesplat (or whatever) started in on her exhausting, automaton, hate-attack on Obama. I’d yawn if it weren’t so annoying. Can one be bored and annoyed simultaneously? In any event, they began the show by plugging Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” And li’l Elizabeth — in the midst of the adulation over the “Thriller” video — suggested that perhaps that was the origin of the line dance.

Yes, Elizabeth. Forget about Texas Two-Step or the Disco Hustle. Or the Minuet or the Gavotte. Or the Bunny Hop. The “Thriller” video was the very first line dance known to Man. Ever. Now get back to your closed-minded but hopelessly open-mouthed rant against anything that isn’t Republican.

It’s impressive to see someone whose lack of intelligence and insight is not restricted to just one area.
