I am thinking this morning about how many people called me (among others) elitist and insulting when I opposed Harriet Miers’s nomination to the Supreme Court (It’s just because she didn’t go to Harvard or Yale, they said to me, Catholic University of America grad). I who feel most uncomfortable at the Union League Club (or wherever someone’s always having luncheons and cocktail parties in our lovely city). This video from Pasedena on the other hand — these words from John Kerry — could be in the dictionary next to insulting and elitist.
