Barone is another Ivy Leaguer, who has as his motto: “Hooray for me, screw the rest of you.”
Same opinion as other Ivy Leaguers - like Michael Medved, who is openly ridiculing anyone who challenges the NSA snooping.
People should stop looking at political parties and start looking at the US political system as “them” and “us,” where “them” are the inbred elites who have attended tawny schools and lunch in fashionable restaurants in Boston, NYC, DC etc and sneer down their noses at the common riff-raff, who would be “us.”
You raise a point about the Ivy League elitist thing. I often had to interview these fools and the moment you trap them in a lie or dumbass contradiction, they use the same argument to respond: I graduated from an Ivy League school, where did you graduate from? I tell them I graduated from Thomas More College in Merrimack NH and scored the lowest GPA among my graduating class. Sometimes I like to stump them with my humility approach.
