Most Democrats have trouble affording one home, so when they search for a leader who shares their values, of course they nominate a guy who is running for his sixth. Of course they nominate a guy whose 42-foot powerboat, the Scaramouche, sells for upward of $700,000. Of course they choose a guy famous for his Christophe haircuts and his Turnbull & Asser shirts. Of course they choose a couple who paid to have an unsightly fire hydrant moved from the front of their Boston house, and who sought to divert huge amounts of river water to supply their sprawling Idaho lawn.
I liked this piece until I read this. That's a load of crap, and apparently when poor Mr. Brooks was at Chicago he never learned about the new class.

I have to go pick cotton now because I guess I'm poor or something. Also, Colonist, those Lyndon LaRouche people attacked us at the Cap South Metro stop - they called my mommy a capitalist pig.
