this latest noise on the campaign trail about elitism is complete crap. excuse me, president of the united states should be the most discriminating job in the world and any criteria that isn’t elite-ish shouldn’t be considered part of the equation for selecting president.

two elections in a row, blue collar, working class, rural voters have been hugely responsible for electing, without debate, the worse human on the planet for the job. even more insulting, mr. bush’s policies have been most damaging to those same people.

now with lemming like insight, these same enlightened voters are rallying around hillary clinton. if you weren’t convinced before that she is the wrong candidate for president this fact should be all the further evidence you need.

susan jacoby, author of “the age of american unreason” recently appeared on the colbert report and commented on how ridiculous it was for hillary clinton, a graduate of yale law school and barak obama, a former editor of the harvard law review to pretend they are not elite by bowling and drinking whisky shots with beer. she went on to impress me by claiming 2/3′s of americans under 25 can’t identify iraq on a map, a map with the names of the countries marked on it; the average american watches seven hours of television a day; and 50% of americans didn’t read a single book last year…

why are we catering down to these people? haven’t their electoral preferences proven catastrophic enough for the rest of us who can read books and identify where iraq is on a labeled map to make sure they don’t swing another election.

i think so and am disgusted we aren’t collectively demanding more.
