Wall Street Onion
Today's Wall Street Journal has an article about how Democrats are elitist, and how Barack Obama is the most elitist candidate since Adlai Stevenson. In addition to giving the columnist a chace to make reference to Adlai Stevenson, the main point of the column is to warn Democrats that unless they get with the program and get their own version of reg'ler gal Sarah Palin, we are doomed to lose elections because of our elitist ways.
The column, by the way, is written by someone named Lynn Forester de Rothschild. She is identified as CEO of a "private investment firm."
Thanks for the advice, Your Grace, it is very much appreciated. And might I note that the irony factor is way exponential with the addition of the "de" to "Rothschild" in your last name. Maybe you can run for president on the Democratic ticket instead of Elitist Obama, who doesn't even have a winery in the family, much less any claim to relations with the most rich and powerful family since the Medicis - excuse me, the "de" Medicis.
And thank you, Wall Street Journal, for asking a Rothschild to denounce the Democrats as elitist. To me, that's kind of like having my table manners criticized by Hannibal Lector, but what the hell do I know - I'm an elitist.

Lynne Forrester de Rothschild is a disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporter. This is another in a series of interviews and other commentaries she has made as part of her effort to undermine the Democrats. So it makes perfect sense that she would pen this foolishness for WSJ.
