the "good" sort of elite

Sent the following to Andrew Sullivan a little while ago in response to this post, titled "Populist Rubbish":

Indeed, and please continue to harp on the fact that Sarah Palin got her undergraduate degree from a - gasp! - state university. The horror!!! Oh my God!!! Because nothing appeals to the deeply un-populist, elitist, and effete swing voter, the majority of whom I'm sure attended both Oxford and Harvard, like mocking a candidate for his or her public education. Yes, what a surprise the Obama camp isn't knocking down your door for more advice on the quarter-hour.


What a fucking snob. Perhaps he'd be better to continue his campaign for the "good" sort of elite after Nov. 4. Since when did attending the University of Idaho (or any other state institution for that matter) become an acceptable epithet, and how out of touch does one have to be to believe that that'd be an effective line of attack?

She has a degree in sports journalism from the University of Idaho, and went to several colleges in several years.


Put her up against the wall!!
