Piers Morgan, Joe Scarborough: Golly Gee Willickers, I Guess When We Were Constantly Calling Anyone Skeptical of the Integrity of Government "Crazy," Maybe We Were Sorta Wrong or Something

courtesy @theonerory

I was just asking Piers Morgan: He was the sophisticated, urbane one for claiming the government could be trusted with every conceivable power to interfere with our lives, and we all were the yokels who thought that maybe flawed people, working for a powerful corporation whose business was exerting control over one group of citizens at the behest of another group, maybe could not in fact be so completely trusted?

Apparently "sophistication" consists of forcing your brain to believe daft, stupid, childish things.

Anyway, as these two jackass ponces love flattering themselves, I'm sure that in a couple of days they'll have assembled a Narrative in which they may have been wrong, but they were Wrong for the Right, Rationalist Reasons.
