I don't mean to sound like an ungrateful Canuck, be jesus h. christ in a green hat, this country is chock full of rubes. They don't care how badly they get fucked over either, as long as you adopt a 'folksy' manner while picking their pockets.

It helps if you flatter them too. "You're not like those titty-babies up in Canada, are you? Getting their health care handed to them on a silver platter. You're an American! You work for your health care. And if that means paying outrageous premiums for crappy swiss-cheese 'coverage' that can be cancelled if you get sick enough to be off work for 90 days (at which point your employers obligations to you, healthcare-wise, are done) forcing you into bankruptcy or kicking you out of hospital, cured or not, why that's just the price we pay for American-style 'freedom' and dynamic capitalism."

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that the only difference between the teabaggers and Bobo Brookes is better teeth and an alpaca sweater.

I don't know that anyone defends Bush on the grounds that he's not an aristocrat. He clearly is. The reason he caught less heat for it than others is that his policies weren't particularly anti-populist. Except for immigration, and on that one he caught plenty.

I have been thinking the exact same thing. What a bunch of hypocrites.
