DOWD SMACKS THE TRAITOR KARL ROVE

Maureen Dowd has a history of attacking Democrats so I was a bit surprised to read her attack on Karl Rove's attempt to play the Elitist Card. Bob Somersby thinks it's because the criticism she received from Clark Hoyt, the NY Time's Public Editor. I don't know but I really did like to read this part of her column:

Rove was doing a variation on the old William Buckley line: “I would rather be governed by the first 2,000 names in the Boston telephone book than by the 2,000 members of the Harvard faculty.”

Conservatives love playing this little game, acting as if the “elite” Democratic candidates are not in touch with people like themselves, even though the guys doing the attacking — like Rove, Limbaugh, O’Reilly and Hannity — are wealthy and cosseted.
