My favorite clip.. Zbigniew Brzezinski to Scarborough: "You have such a Stunningly Superficial knowledge of what went on that it is almost embarrassing to listen to you".

and yet, I appreciate that a lot more than the echo chamber that is most other shows on the cable news networks.

could you imagine Maddow or Hannity bringing on an intelligent guest who could actually challenge their POV's?

They both do, Maddow will sometimes overreach but Hannity ALWAYS shuts down his guests. They do it to bring conflict to their shows they just handle them differently.

Oh Please. Maddow was a Rhodes scholar (Bill Clinton was as well). Don't think she is concerned about debating people on facts. Hannity, not so much. I don't watch either though.

I work with a bunch of lawyers. You'd be surprised how stupid someone who got a JD and passed the bar can be. There's all different kinds of intelligence.

Um.. yeah. You can get a JD from a tier 5 Law School. You should go and goggle Rhodes Scholarship.

Rhodes Scholarship
History
Known as an old and prestigious international graduate scholarship",[13] the Rhodes Scholarships are administered and awarded by the Rhodes Trust, which was established in 1902 under the terms and conditions of the will of Cecil John Rhodes, and funded by his estate under the administration of Nathan Rothschild.[14] Scholarships have been awarded to applicants annually since 1902 on the basis of academic achievement and strength of character. There have been more than 7,000 Rhodes Scholars since the inception of the Trust. More than 4,000 are still living.[15]
In 1925, the Commonwealth Fund Fellowships (later renamed the Harkness Fellowships) were established to reciprocate the Rhodes Scholarships by enabling British graduates to study in the United States.[16] The Kennedy Scholarship program, created in 1966 as a living memorial to John F. Kennedy, adopts a comparable selection process to the Rhodes Scholarships to allow 10 British post-graduate students per year to study at either Harvard or MIT.[17][18]
