Glenn Reynolds Credulity Award

It's fitting, I suppose, to hand out this prize to a guest blogger at instapundit.com. Tell me Michael Totten doesn't deserve it:

David Batlle [sp?] emails a story by Richard Rushfield at Slate. He goes under cover, so to speak, disguised as a Kerry voter in conservative Southern California cities and a Bush supporter in liberal Los Angeles neighborhoods. Guess where he encounters the most intolerance?

Does this need elaborate comment? Republican enclaves in California do not represent the heart of Red America. I dare Totten to do a tour of the Rocky Mountain states and old South in Kerry-Edwards gear. Really, I dare him.

And none of this is to discount the predictable nastiness Rushfield experienced while posing as a Bush supporter in Blue country.
