Can it get more elitist than this? Arianna OK'd bitter story while in billionaire's yacht in Tahiti
Edited on Wed Apr-16-08 09:33 PM by Markosito
Pro-Obama columnist from the Washington Post Eugene Robinson recently mocked Hillary saying she's not "regular" people because of her high income and the fact that she lives in a mansion.
I wonder what Robinson and the many who have echoed his reasoning, reminiscent of the Edwards-expensive-haircuts nuts, have to say about Obama's #1 fan Arianna Huffington, who signed off on the "bitter" tory while cruising in a yacht owned by Obama's billionaire buddy, David Geffen.

Enjoy the read:

Yet you guys don't waste 1 second making a big fuzz about their statements and character.

12. Arianna is not campaigning for anyone, either. Nor is she a possible First Gentleman.

4. Troll!
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts
controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online
community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of
baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt
normal on-topic discussion.

7. Had Hillary claimed she was "regular" people?
Yet Eugene Robinson said she's not regular just because she's rich.

13. I guess you have a point.
Most of us were taught how to shoot in the back yard of our squalor pits, not at the "cottage".

8. But if it was Geraldine Ferraro
The sarcasm about a person not running for president being scrutinized would immediately fade.

14. Clintons spend the 90s deep-sixing BCCI matters for the TRULY POWERFUL ELITE and you
want us to get warm over a showbiz billionaire who EARNED his money?

You do know that the EXACT same powerful elite friends and partners of GHWBush and Jackson Stephens who were protected by Clintons in the 90s when he deep-sixed BCCI's outstanding matters are now LINING CLINTONS' BANK ACCOUNTS by the tens of millions, don't you?
