In the wake of Richard Mourdock's landslide victory over Republican Senator Richard Lugar in Indiana's primary Tuesday, Newsweek's Eleanor Clift made what some might consider a staggeringly stupid prediction on Friday's McLaughlin Group.

"The Tea Party will cost the Republicans control of the Senate" (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):

Rather deliciously, National Review's Rich Lowry immediately followed with his prediction, "Richard Mourdock handily wins the general election in Indiana."

The smile on Lowry's face after he said it - priceless.

Probably like Lowry, I wish I had a dollar every time a liberal media member besmirched the Tea Party.
