False, Elitist Outrage

It never ceases to amaze how beltway types will become incensed on behalf of "the people." This Bitter-gate business is a perfect example.

Consider:

John King, attendee of Boston Latin School, one of the fanciest high schools in the country, essentially getting angry and indignant on CNN, repeatedly describing Obama's comments as somewhere between condescending and downright mean.

Then there are the Bill Kristol's of the world, wealthy Bush-tax-cut types who just love their guns and religion and will not stand for their small town "brethren" being made fun of. Kristol writes in his most recent column:

What does this mean for Obama’s presidential prospects? He’s disdainful of small-town America — one might say, of bourgeois America. He’s usually good at disguising this. But in San Francisco the mask slipped. And it’s not so easy to get elected by a citizenry you patronize.

The incompetent, raving lunatic the New York Times hired continues to produce wonderful ad material for the Republicans--but nothing more.
