Truth be told

At long last, someone with the cojos to provide perspective on those with such big mouths and such small minds:

Novotny: John, what about this controversy over opposition to Obama's speech to schoolchildren?

Harwood: I've got to tell you, Monica, I've been watching politics for a long time and this is -- this one is really over the top. What it shows you is there are a lot of cynical people who try to fan controversy -- and let's face it, in a country of 300 million people there are a lot of stupid people, too, because if you believe that's it's somehow unhealthy for kids for the President to say, "Work hard and stay in school," you're stupid.

Novotny: Ouch.

Harwood: In fact, I'm worried for some of those kids. I'm worried for some of those kids of those parents who are upset. I'm not sure they're smart enough to raise those kids. . . .
