Emily Miller ably holds her own against condescending jerk Don Lemon [video]

But of course!

This afternoon, CNN host Don Lemon wanted to discuss some comments Michele Bachmann made about the 2012 election. But when one of his guests, conservative author and Washington Times senior opinion editor Emily Miller attempted to put Bachmann’s comments into context, Lemon and his other guest, Daily Beast columnist Keli Goff, broke down laughing. Because nothing says “real journalism” like dismissiveness and condescension.

Take a look:

Through it all, Miller kept her cool and stayed classy. Unfortunately, there were plenty of viewers who did neither:

@donlemon Slap Emily Miller…Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a bloody idiot…and B*******CH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But it’s Miller who’ll have the last laugh.
