Annals Of Self-Polarization

Dig Fox News Anchor Kimberly Guilfoyle, speaking for Constitutional "Intentionalism" (although we doubt she understands the entire talking point someone fed her) while declaring that the President nominating & the Senate approving a SCOTUS candidate is a violation of separation of powers. Honest.
And then her fellow "Great American" Panelists start: "There is no evidence that he [the president] has any moderation in him at all."(1:30) "Community organizers on the Supreme Court? C'mon. This is ridiculous."(1:45) "Barack Obama is a radical activist. His whole life has been about radicalism. His whole agenda in the first 100 plus days has been a radical left agenda: Socialist economy and weakening of our national defenses."(3:28) They're so polarized it's as if they've set off on an ice-floe toward one or the other of the poles.                     (Tip of the Bouffant chapeau to a "J. A. F. Rusty Shackleford" who brought up the video in a comment at Balloon Juice.)
