Coates Makes A Good Point

Coates makes a good point about how elitism--in the traditional sense--and irony seems to be absent in this election.

"Matt, examining Lady de Rothchilds defection to McCain, notes that irony must be truly dead. 'Lady' de Rothchilds main reason for not endorsing McCain? Obama is an elitist. More accurately elitism is dead. When a gazillionaire who insists on being IDed as 'Lady' can call a black dude from the South Side, whose mother had him as a teenager an elitist, the word has no meaning."
