McCain says the "elites" are in D.C. and New York City

Fake America located

In tonight's NBC News interview with Brian Williams, McCain explains that the "elites" are located in D.C. and New York
City:

WILLIAMS: Who is a member of the elite?

PALIN: Oh, I guess just people who think that they're better than anyone else. And-- John McCain and I are so committed to serving every American. Hard-working, middle-class Americans who are so desiring of this economy getting put back on the right track. And winning these wars. And America's starting to reach her potential. And that is opportunity and hope provided everyone equally. So anyone who thinks that they are-- I guess-- better than anyone else, that's-- that's my definition of elitism.

WILLIAMS: So it's not education? It's not income-based? It's--

PALIN: Anyone who thinks that they're better than someone else.

WILLIAMS: --a state of mind? It's not geography?

PALIN: 'Course not.

WILLIAMS: Senator?

MCCAIN: I-- I know where a lot of 'em live. (LAUGH)

WILLIAMS: Where's that?

MCCAIN: Well, in our nation's capital and New York City. I've seen it. I've lived there. I know the town. I know-- I know what a lot of these elitists are. The ones that she never went to a cocktail party with in Georgetown. I'll be very frank with you. Who think that they can dictate what they believe to America rather than let Americans decide for themselves.

I am beginning to get irritated with John McCain and his tireless war on cocktails.

New York City is my hometown, but now I'm a DCer. I'm so proud...and so elite. Now if I could just get other people to recognize it. What is WRONG with all of these people I am so much better than???

So to the un-Americans, Sarah Palin is elite? Must be cause she's said she's better than the un-Americans so so so many times.

i'm so elite... lived in dc and now in nyc... feels good.

But Barack is from Chicago - the heartland! That's not elite!

Oh wait - he lives in the Hyde Park neighborhood - where the terrorists like Ayers live...

So, I guess anyone who attends U. of I.-Chicago, where Ayers teaches, consorts with terrorists!

And Obama used to teach law at the University of Chicago - where they invented the atom bomb! The one that AMERICA dropped on our enemies. The one that no other country has ever used.

I'm so confused... being a college professor is Un-American?

Who think that they can dictate what they believe to America rather than let Americans decide for themselves.

Pot, this is kettle.

And, really, John McCain, owner of 17 houses and the best smug expression in the nation... not elite? Really? Oh, excuse me, he's not better than everyone else; he's just better than Barack Obama.

I can't wait for all this BS to be over.

If the elite includes anyone who thinks they're better than someone else, doesn't that, by definition, include anyone who runs for President or VP?

Why do we feel the need to defend ourselves against this garbage? Aren't New York and D.C. rather tired targets even for the GOP? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Republicans are all "regular people", not like us snotty urban sophisticates, blah, blah, blah--if McCain had faltered in his lines, the audience could have prompted him. Isn't it time to give this particular VERY OLD line of attack a rest?

Priscilla: This is not a cheer-ocracy, I am the cheer-tator, I will make the cheer-isions around here, and I will deal with the cheer-onsequences.

Not Another Teen Movie

Namo, I was thinking the same thing about that sentence!

"She'll have to return (the Manohlos) after the election."

Of course she will. She's such a stickler for following the letter of the law. She wouldn't be involved in anything unsavory like keeping the $150,000 worth of clothes purchased for her at those elite stores in that elite city.

My middle name is 'Acela' if that tells you anything.

F*ck McShame and his cheerleader!
