Today's political question
Sep. 2nd, 2009 01:02 pmObservation on what currently passes for political discourse in the U.S.A.
I've been hearing some folks slamming Ted Kennedy for having been part of a family of "aristocracy" and "privilege".
And they call Barack Obama "elitist".
And I notice that these are the same people who had just spent years defending Sieur Dubya of the House of Bush.
So my question is:
Do these people deserve any more nuanced response than to point at them and laugh?
