12. But that one doesn't have the important

assessment she makes that "she thinks Democratic nominee Barack Obama is arrogant and has a problem connecting with average Americans. ..."

Oh is he, does he? HE is arrogant. She is not. John is not. What a !@#$%^&*()_

4. Rothschild, eh?

One of those Rothschilds? Maybe she has to do this due to her station in life as an elite.

5. Brought in $100,000 for Hillary's campaign?

Didn't Streisand bring in 9 million last night?

What am I missing? Why should we care about this woman? :shrug:

7. who cares

So what if someone from Hillary's funders supports McCain, there is certainly rejoicing when a McCain funder supports Obama. That's a democracy at least still the illusion of one, and the one illusion we are trying to hold onto for old time's sake. This person isn't a make or break deal for Obama, so she is supporting McCain, lots of people are. I don't see alot of difference between this response to a person supporting McCain than I do to the right wing response when the shoe is on the other foot. Ever hear of "let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me?" Go on, don't waste energy on this one.

Baroness Finds Black Man Elitist

I'm supposed to care that the wife of an international banker who calls herself Lady Lynn de Rothschild is endorsing John McCain because she thinks Barack Obama is arrogant and elitist?

LADY LYNN DE ROTHSCHILD?

Pardon me while I laugh hysterically for the next 10 minutes.
