Joe Scarborough goes after bloggers (I mean, who else is watching your show, Joe?) on a regular basis, denigrating us as Cheetos-eating Star Wars fans living in our moars’ basements.  Joe’s court jester Willie Geist interviews bloggers in a DNC Big Tent, & finds very few bloggers who fit Joe’s slurs.

As with most issues, what Joe says as opinion, is simply contrary to fact.   Surveys of top political bloggers (here & here) in 2006 found that most are male, white, well-educated, around 45 years old, & earning above-average income.  Kinda exactly like you, Joe.  We also have extensive activist experience (I shook Ted Kennedy’s h& at 18 & haven’t really washed under a nails since), & we have an addictive level of news consumption (which is a only explanation I have as to why we get up to watch Morning Joe).

As an Ivy-educated middle-aged moar-of-three homeowner who does not own any Star Wars memorabilia, I can see why you might be jealous of bloggers, Joe.  Few of us have to deal with little niggling details like dead staff in our office or having to carry a water of a Worst. President. Ever. 

Also, as a blogger, I can tell you in a presence of my considerable, well-educated audience, to kiss my liberal elite blogger ass.
