Cerek,
Bush and Cheney are far richer than Mike Moore. Bush and Cheney are "eleitist" career politicians. Moore is a filmaker. You have it the wrong way round for some reason.[/QUOTE]EVERY major politician is a multi-millionaire, Yorick. I am referring to Michael Moore's elitist attitude - that HE and HIS counterparts are much more intelligent, sophisticated, street-savvy and knowledgeable over all than the poor, ignorant hicks of Red America.
That is based on the numerous comments and editorials that have confirmed this "elitist attitude" - including the locked thread here copied from the NY Times. These labels and comments are taken from direct quotes of NY citizens interviewed for that article. Some of them even admitted their attitude might sound elitist, but they didn't care. Which means they really DO think they are "better and smarter" than Red America.
That is an excessively condescending and insulting view and - in case you can't tell - it pretty well pisses me off every time I hear. The first week or so was to be expected, but it just keeps going on and on. And there is no reason to think that this whiney-ass moaning is gonna stop any time within the next 4 years.
As I posted before, the liberals just can't believe that "Red America" didn't defer to their obviously superior wisdom and major dose of reality shock seems to have struck them to the very core - so much so that they are left with no recourse but to openly and continually insult the intellect and reasoning capabilities of the those that voted to put Bush into office despite their vigorous protestations.
Like I said before - THEY JUST DON'T GET IT! [/QUOTE]Cerek, there are over 8 million night time residents of New York. Manhattan doesn't even have half of that. Brooklyn has 4 million. The largest borough, and is far from being filled with "eleitist" Manhattanites. The overwhelming majority are working class. Jersey City, Queens, Bronx, Staten. All this adds up to more people than exist in the Upper West, Upper East or Greenwhich Village.
As for Cheney and Bush... where did they go to college? Bush went to YALE. On daddy's money.

Cheney has a masters in Arts from University of Wyoming.

Where did Moore go to college?
Who had the best education money could buy? How does the son of a CIA chief turned President somehow give the impression that he's "Mr.Everyman".
It's a hoodwink Cerek. You have been hoodwinked. It's an aristocracy when the leadership gets passed from father to son, and a brother is a governor.
