Jeremy Scahill = Smug Prick
Word has it that I have avoided politics too much lately. Well, here you go.
You know the guy who is smarter than you are, who has no idea why you won’t acknowledge the fact that he is soooooooo much smarter than you? That is Jeremy Scahill. I just watched him derail an otherwise entertaining episode of Real Time with Bill Maher. He came in and just gave a combative, exasperated testimony in douche-baggery. The show was full of disagreements and good points, and interesting opinions until he showed up and became the cancer of the panel. The whole tone of the show changed and soon everyone was screaming at each other, except Adam Goldberg. Goldberg was witty, intelligent and most of all funny throughout, and tagged it with, “Uhhh they told me in my pre-interview that there wouldn’t be any yelling.”
Back to Jeremy Scahill… Dude, we get it. You are smarter than we are. Or at least you have more knowledge in this one area than we do. Now take your condescending, smug attitude and go away, you inconsequential, intolerable douche.

Craig,
Saw the episode. Couldn’t agree with you more…although I wouldnt concede the whole smarter than you point. While he defintiely seemed to have a ton of firsthand experience, he also came across as having an agenda, a strong one. Let’s not forget he was selling a book and last time I checked “War in Iraq is going horribly” sells many more copies than “War in Iraq Has Ups and Downs”.
Kind of like the global warming books that say we’ll all be underwater in 50 years. Things just can’t be bad or on the wrong path anymore. They must be extrapolated to “Day After Tomorrow” proportions to make a point.
