There’s nothing like a smug, self-assured liberal proclaiming her intellectual superiority to bring out the ingenious and hilarious side of conservative Twitter.

Giddy up, conservative Twitter!
Do you remember the first time a black person accused you of "talking white"? Black folk so crazy, girl. @joanwalsh
