Displaying the sort of snobbery Democrats are famous for, Elizabeth Edwards says she's afraid of her "rabid Republican" neighbor.
Just how does one get to be labelled a "rabid Republican"? Own a gun, not allow people to trespass on your property, use your property as you like, and put a Go Rudy Giuliani 2008 sign near the entrance to the Edwards compound.
As Joliphant at RedState says, Elizabeth Edwards has used up whatever good will she had comin' to her because of breast cancer.
John and Elizabeth Edwards have just used up their sympathy offset. In recent weeks, no matter what I may have thought of the up-jumped piece of trash from the personal injury firm, I held my cyber-tongue in check, because his wife had breast cancer. I figured that if this personal tragedy taught Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, Esquire a wee touch of humility, I could take a couple of Tums whenever the two of them caused my digestive tract to produce excess bile.
Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, the "if" has been violated twice now, so the logical condition in no way holds. I’m back to treating Playstation™ Johnnie "Silky Pony" Edwards with all the condign respect that he truly merits. That would be none.
I was one of those giving the Edwardses the benefit of the doubt, even when they use condolences as fundraisers. But the sort of snobbery involved in Elizabeth Edwards's comments is beyond the breast cancer sympathy invulnerability.
I would diagnose John and Elizabeth Edwards with a malady even worse than cancer. They suffer from unmitigated hubris. They want to represent the common worker, but they sure don’t want his lifestyle anywhere near their barbican-crowned fortress of tasteless, filthy lucre. They like to represent that other America at altitude and distance.
They’ll represent the common man, assuming he has the standing to sue and the means to remunerate. They won’t shake his hand without the disinfectant handy. It would really hurt Elizabeth’s pride if her children had to actual smell someone from that other America after a hard day in the fields or the brooding, satanic mill.
John and Elizabeth Edwards represent everything to me that is hateful about wealthy American liberals. They claim they are above greed and live a spiritually holy life. Then they send you fundraising letters “just so they can share it with other people.”
They claim “Jesus would be appalled by American greed.” Then they move into the ugliest, most tacky trophy house that the Great State of North Carolina ever had the pleasure of levying a property tax against.
Finally, and most excruciatingly, they claim to look out for “all the little people” who struggle in “that other America.” Then, they make themselves so abrasive and obnoxious that normal people don’t want to live in the same zip code.
What type of evil, menacing woman would take her quarrels with a next door neighbor to a local newspaper and insult the man’s beliefs in public?
Why, the woman who wants to be First Lady so badly she's willing to use breast cancer and snobbish comments to do it. That's Democrats sticking up for the little people.
