is meant those PAID a lot for their acceptable thoughts. Those ensconced in the positions, new and traditional, that are the episcopal sees of policy opinion. Most of which hare no longer really influential unless they get with the business program anyway.

Unfortunately they educated and networked too many people. The same dissipation and morass has percolated a wider intelligentsia, one not at all intimidated by pathetic gatekeepers or bench warmers of the so-called "establishment. People who can easily see from a few minutes of a C-Span panel discussion the illogic, the nonsense, the arrogance and error of the privileged intelligentsia. And they do love to primp before the camera, totally unaware of how they undermine their facade.

No wonder the destruction of public mass education, especially college opportunities, is a natural by product of the great surrender to to the privileged C student monarch passing out money to his friends and destroying the entire civil society in an attempt to prop up fascism as a viable rule of state.

Beyond the intelligentsia the rot also extends to those who are equally self deluded because of money and comfort and self-affirmation- as they surrender the world to a few renegades according to the natural extension of their spiritual vice.

Without Bush to expose the pathetic nature of the "establishment" or whatever you want to call it, who would have dared seen the rot and void at the center of the American soul, long under siege from determined renegades?
