Consider this description of an MSNBC report:
MSNBC co-host Touré thinks the main reason Senator Mary Landrieu (D., La.) and other red-state Democrats are moving forward with bills to delay Obamacare is that they’ve been “gerrymandered” into safe seats.
He explained on The Cycle that vulnerable Democrats such as Landrieu, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, and Mark Pryor of Arkansas have to deal with appealing to right-leaning constituents because of their . . . situation. “We see red-state Democrats who are dealing with the challenge of living and governing in a gerrymandered world,” Touré said.
Um...he does understand that those are all SENATORS, right? Elected from states? The big things on the map, the ones with the state lines set by federal statutes of territorial admission?
I mean, it's one thing to claim that problems in the House are caused by gerrymandering. (They aren't). But...the Senate? Really? I understand that MSNBC doesn't hire commentators with an IQ over 80, but this is embarrassing.
