I love watching the hysteria build into a tsunami among the actual elitists of the absurdly word-parsing punditocracy. Meanwhile, Obama continues to gain on Hillary.
Do you actually think his "gaffe" -- which was an artless statement of the truth -- is anywhere near as revealing as Hillary's rush to tell that charming little story about learning to shoot a gun out back of the family cottage? Or her slamming back beer and whiskey in a bar or blithering about her deep and abiding faith in the lord god almighty?
The true elitists in this nation are the myopic pundits who are completely out of touch with Americans, who have been consistently wrong in their predictions and observations throughout the last 7 years. If you for one moment think the average American isn't more repelled by Hillary's becoming a gunslinger than by Obama's garbled comment, whose underlying empathy is easy to discern, you really need to take a tour of reality.
