Smartest Guy in the Room

I have already written about this elsewhere (ning-urbspace), but I find it came up for me again watching Obama's health care speech last night, particularly when the camera panned over to John Boner and co. and when Joe Wilson called out you lie to a lie Obama was pointing out was being made by people like Joe Wilson. I think some of these crazy Repubs are just crazy about how smart he is and how inadequate they feel in his presence. More later.
