Limbaugh just admitted that the Republicans are elitist

[uberllama42]

He was playing a series of clips from Mme. Speaker's speech yesterday, and he was commenting on a statement she made about solidarity with the poor. "They're just as elitist as anyone else," he said, where "they" meant the Democratic Party and "anyone else" meant the Republican Party.

I'm a huge cynic, so I'm not convinced that the Democrats are any less elitist than the Republicans. We have to wait and see on that front. But it's certainly refreshing to hear people like Limbaugh and Hannity bitching and moaning. Rush interrupts his whining every few minutes to say that all the other Republicans need to stop whining. How sweet it is!

4. An interesting LTTE in today's Times...

David Brooks (“A Snit in First Class,” column, Jan. 4) asks why rich politicians like Nancy Pelosi and George W. Bush can’t just get along.

The answer is simple: Some wealthy politicians use their positions to further the interests of the wealthy.

They pursue policies that shift income upward and the tax burden down; that strip away protections for workers; that favor insurance companies, drug makers and other corporate interests over the interests of ordinary people.

But other wealthy politicians think that public servants are supposed to serve the public.

The wealthy-for-the-wealthy politicians resent their more publicly minded peers and invent clever denigrations like “traitor to his class” or “limousine liberal.”

Because, as Mr. Brooks notes, political success depends on the ability to raise large sums of money, the wealthy will be overrepresented in public office. We are lucky that at least a few of them — the Kennedys, Pelosis, Kerrys and others — sometimes fight against their more self-serving wealthy counterparts rather than just going along.
