Younger liberals, by contrast, have had no such chastening experiences [the Gulf War of 1991 and welfare reform]. Watching the Bush administration flit from disaster to disaster, they have grown increasingly dismissive of conservatives in the process. They consume partisan media, where Republican malevolence is taken for granted. They laugh along with the "Colbert Report," the whole premise of which is that conservatives are bombastic, chauvinistic and dumb. They have never had the ideologically humbling experience of watching the people whose politics they loathe be proven right.

HOMER
Five days? But I’m mad now! I’d kill you if I had my gun.
CLERK
Yeah, well you don’t.
(Homer walks out of the store, muttering.)
