He is a self professed socialist progressive who preaches the redistribution of wealth and denounces the evils of privately held property and resource development. But, he lives in a million dollar enclave in the Queen Anne Hill section of Seattle where most of life seems to be centered around sitting at one of the hundreds of Starbucks, or other coffee houses talking about the glory of 'one world, one people'.
When he lost his wire tap case and subsequent lawsuit his legal bills approached a million dollars. When his scam to have the taxpayers pay the tab by saying he was doing government business didn't work, Bill Clinton flew out here and held fund raiser rallies and exclusive dinners so that the socialist could save his house (with other people's money) and maintain his elitist lifestyle high on the hill where he can look down at the unwashed masses and workers of the world.
Liberals talk of everyone being equal, but they need their elite royalty to look up to. Their perfect world is something akin to the days when everyone toiled in fields and factories and gave what they produced to the McDermotts, Pelosis and Clintons of their time.
Your description of McDermott’s house made me smile, because it’s so typical. I instantly thought of the gargantuan homes of such left-wing luminaries as Al Gore, Michael Moore, John Edwards, and of the multimillion-dollar townhouses owned by Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry (who was in Vietnam). Hypocrites all.
