Earlier this week, Meredith Shiner at Yahoo News, a political reporter with roughly six years of experience and a jourmalism degree from Duke, demonstrated breathtaking ignorance about Ted Cruz's reference to God-given rights. She tweeted the following in reaction: "Bizarre to talk about how rights are God-made and not man-made in your speech announcing a POTUS bid? When Constitution was man-made?" In a post on Shiner's tweet on Monday, I wondered how widespread such breathtaking ignorance might be. In his Fox News "Watters' World" segment on Bill O'Reilly's show on Tuesday, Jesse Watters found some individual answers, many of them far from encouraging:

MIKA BRZEZINSKI, MSNBC: So should we dial back on the words that [Yemen] is a success story, when you have the president fleeing on a boat?
JOSH EARNEST, WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN: Mmm. Hmm. You need to separate out two things here. The measure of U.S. policy should not be graded against the success or the stability of the Yemeni government, that is a separate enterprise. The goal of U.S. policy towards Yemen has never been to try to build a Jeffersonian democracy there. The goal of U.S. policy in Yemen is to make sure that Yemen can not be a safe haven that extremists can use to attack the West and the U.S.
That involves trying to build up the capacity of the government to help us in this fight. There is no doubt we would prefer a situation where there is a stable government where there was a place where U.S. personnel could operate in Yemen coordinating directly with Yemeni security forces to take the fight to these extremists.

Nebraska state Sen. Ernie Chambers compared U.S. police to Islamic State terrorists and added that if he carried a weapon, he'd use it on a cop.
My ISIS is the police, Chambers said during a Friday legislative hearing.
I wouldn't go to Syria, I wouldn't go to Iraq, I wouldn't go to Afghanistan, I wouldn't go to Yemen, I wouldn't go to Tunisia, I wouldn't go to Lebanon, I wouldn't go to Jordan, I would do it right here, he added. Nobody from ISIS ever terrorized us as a people as the police do us daily.
Nebraska Watchdog recorded the lawmaker's statements and uploaded the audio to their website.
Chambers wasn't done ranting at that point. He added that if he carried a firearm, he would shoot a cop.
If I was going to carry a weapon, it wouldn't be against you, it wouldn't be against these people who come here that I might have a dispute with. Mine would be for the police, Chambers said. And if I carried a gun I'd want to shoot him first and then ask questions later, like they say the cop ought to do.

The Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap was because of President Obama's lack of experience, according to Scott Walker.
The Governor of Wisconsin and likely 2016 Republican presidential hopeful said the prisoner swap that freed five Taliban prisoners frustrated him.
The unfortunate reality is this is what happens when you put someone in office who's never led before, Walker told Hugh Hewitt on Wednesday night — hours after Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was charged with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. This president, unfortunately, having been a senator, a state senator, a community organizer, never led anything, and so he's never been in a position to make those sorts of judgments.
Bergdahl, who was released last May after being held captive in Afghanistan since 2009 in exchange for five Taliban members being held in Guantanamo Bay, could get life in prison.
