Michael Medved makes an ass of himself...

Media Matters for America gives a run down of of the complete fool of himself that Michael Medved made while discussing the President's Social Security Privatization Plan with Hans Riemer.

Radio host Michael Medved's privatization meltdown

When radio host Michael Medved challenged Rock the Vote Washington director Hans Riemer's use of the term "privatization" to describe President Bush's proposed changes to Social Security, Riemer confronted Medved with a quotation of Bush describing his proposed private accounts as "privatization." Yet Medved insisted that the claim that Bush supports privatization is "a bloody lie" and challenged Riemer to name a single U.S. politician who said he wanted to "get rid of Social Security." When Riemer presented a November 11, 2000, quote from Rep. Chris Chocola (R-IN), who said he would "like to see the entire system privatized," Medved responded: "I'm not even sure he is a member of Congress." Chocola was elected to Congress in 2002.

The audio of Medved spewing his idiocy can be found here.

This is really indicative of the right's echo chamber nonsense.
