How low can the LA Times go?

Andrew Malcolm, who needs a new day job because he sucks at the one he's got, gags up a stinking puddle of stupid and leaves it right there on the floor where those of us with more delicate sensibilities are forced to gag back in self-defense.

Malcolm doesn't think a President should observe protocol (not even a 'Democrat President.' I don't think a person without a grasp of elementary grammar should be blogging for a major newspaper. But this newspaper isn't as august as it used to be.)

Malcolm thinks we should continue to emulate the diplomatic approach of Beavis and Butthead Bush and Cheney, which can be best summed up by the phrase: "You aren't the boss of me." Apparently, in Malcolm's alternate reality, the juvenile approach was effective because it's really way better for America if the rest of the world holds us in low esteem; and the ass-whupping suffered by the GOP in the 2008 election doesn't have any policy implications whatsoever.

If you suffer from a weak stomach, by the way, don't check out the comments. Although the entire piece is a vomitous mass, the most nauseating chunks lie below the fold.
