I find it astonishing that supposedly intelligent people are so blinded by their talking points that, as you deftly pointed out, they are unable to see the ridiculousness of what they are saying.

It was a throwaway line. Comedy with built-in obsolesence. But at least I'm in touch with the zeitgeist ;-)
