Every time I find myself sympathizing with some conservative position or other...
...some bloody stupid ignoramus paid to write columns delivers some statement so ignorant and appalling that I am forced to reconsider out of sheer self-respect. The latest is Debra Saunders, who seems to have it in her coiffured head that only "elitists" in Europe are against the death penalty - this on the basis of a single untypical poll in the tiny mountain country of Austria. I have got news for you, pretty lady: that makes about 80% of Italians elitists, which somewhat defeats the purpose of elitism. Learn what you are talking about, you moronic self-admiring bunch of isolationist wankers, before you open your overfed mouths in public.
