The Alexandra Pelosi (daughter of Nancy) documentary, "Right America: Feeling Wronged," premeried on HBO last night. One word perfectly describes it: "tedious." Over and over and over again, Pelosi tries to hammer home the point that conservatives are angry because they just don't know what is best for them. And what is best is Obama...at least in Pelosi's opinion. Overall, her documentary offers very little insight except for the fact that Pelosi thinks socialism is misunderstood by the "unenlightened" yahoos. However, a Salon.Com interview with her about the documentary reveals quite a lot of insight into the incredible elitism of one Alexandra Pelosi and it's not a pretty sight. So suspend your gag reflexes as Pelosi the Younger puts her elitism on display. First off she blames blogs for much of the current political climate (meaning angry conservatives from the Pelosi POV):

I think that the blogs have poisoned the political atmosphere in such a way that I never saw this kind of anger and hatred in 2000. In 2008, I was impressed by how angry it got. But you know elections have gotten nasty. I do think that blogs have really given people a place to, I don't know, maybe it's therapeutic for them. But it’s really gotten them fired up in a way. They talk to each other online and then they get worked up and then they go meet each other at rallies. And I just feel like the Internet has really changed the climate at the political rallies. Because I remember the Bush rallies as being fun. But you know, a lot's happened. 9/11 and all that poisoning the well. The whole partisan Bush years and the war poisoned the well.

The “horn” does not fall far from the “devil”....

LOL!

[facedown]

Smug ignorance from the mind of a child.

Under the Fairness Doctrine, HBO should give Rush Limbaugh equal time.

Reminds me...whatever happened to that other talentless coattail rider Ronnie Reagan Jr.?

[PLD]

She looks like one of the tree huggers from Berkley..No one is more angry than your wicked mother you moron..

[MrB]

Or, the hammer doesn’t fall far from the sickle.

[Travis T. OJustice]

Definitely guilty!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

I think jr is on air amerika.

[Batman11]

Who is that guy?

[Kimmers]

I always thought it interesting that Nancy's children grew up to be mindless liberals and the other two, Maureen and Micheal were conservative.....

[Williams]

She’s a funny looking thing but we kind of liked her on Hannity I think Hannity liked her too. She’s at least smarter and way more natural than her mother, I attribute that to her Italian father, of course. Maybe she’ll grow up to be a conservative.

[randog]

No wonder we never hear from him anymore.

Stupid, mean, and butt-ugly is no way to go through life, girl.

I saw it last night.

Other than the folks in Mississippi who made racial comments, I thought the folks Pelosi interviewed were regular folks.

Not the most articulate, but their love of country, of their fear of what an Obama Presidency would be like(and all coming true, BTW)and the importance of this election for the future of America all coame through.

The sight of the Palin and McCain rallies in the film brought me to tears as I remembered how much I wanted to believe we would win, that the American people COULDN’T be so stupid as to elect Obama. You never saw many American flags at an Obama rally. The excitement, listening to Palin all over again,the down home, unbridled patriotism made the loss more deeply felt.

The film shows the stark difference in the heartland folks and the coastal regions and the Chicago/Detroit/Madison/Minneapolis belt.

Even some of the participants were astute enough to verbalize that this country is in danger of splitting along ideological fault lines.

All I know is, a similar film on the Obama campaign would have made have uncontrollable projectile vomiting.

Pelosi is a liberal, and her questions also reveal that about her. But that is a given going in.

This film, showed real Americans, warts and all, and I am proud to be numbered with them.

When the revolution comes, I fear the illiterate rednecks will not look kindly on Ms Pelosi.
