What does that say about a so called media journalist when he insults a person and calls them 'stupid'?

Chris Mathews is not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, especially when he says he got a thrill up his leg from what Obama said when he first came on the scene. I would wager that if you put him in a common folk surrounding to find his way and he would be lost for lack of common sense and reliance for all his degrees of academia!
