I think it's the shoes. If your shoes can't be spotted from yards away as Italian, you're a piker earning $199K or less. Sure glad Bill Gates wasn't in the room; he would also have never passed Kerry's "Global Snob Test."
Yeah I look snooty in my Birks and Naots. I don't imagine Liveshot would be caught dead wearing cheap flip-flops.
Or Ralph Nader.Isn't he a millionaire, but wears pretty cheap clothes ?
I go to school in Seattle. Sometimes I eat at this little hole-in-the-wall teriyaki place near campus, similar to teriyaki places all over town. On the wall over a table, the proud owners have a picture of Gates with the notation that he ate there a few years ago.
Obviously, Gates has no problem eating in the type of joint that Kerry would avoid like the plague. You can always tell the kind of people who have money as opposed to those who are owned by their money. Kerry is the latter.
