Following Danielle Crittenden’s “Non-Elitists Against Palin” (see below), an elite reader responds:
You might be interested in a facebook group some of my friends and I are in, “Coastal Elites for Sarah Palin.”
Description: Do you find yourself telling your squash partner to call you “Barracuda” during a match? Have you set aside a weekend for “snow machining” when you winter in Vail? When someone asks you to make his martini extra dry, do you respond “you betcha”? During your last pheasant walk-up, did you stop to consider that moose hunting might be a good change of pace? Upon seeing Sen. McCain introduce Gov. Palin, did you announce, “Well, Dorothy Parker sure got that one wrong!” If so, this group is for you. Recently members of the East Coast establishment like David Brooks and Chris Buckley have been falling all over each other to see who can hurl more verbal refuse at Gov. Sarah Palin. Their snobbish attitudes reflect poorly on elitism in general and coastal elites in particular. They cannot speak for all of us. Sure, Neiman may be a little nouveau, but we can always blame that on the top of the ticket!
Fantastic! Now all we need are Metrosexuals For Mushing, and the swing states will be back in play.
