kellinatorFrom this week's Popbitch:
"For anyone that didn’t know. John McCain was at the bottom of his military class at Annapolis, but still got to pilot a fighter plan due to his father’s connections. He is the son and the grandson of admirals. He finished 894 of 899 in his graduating class. Despite crashing five aircrafts, John McCain was never disciplined. And son-of-single-mother Obama is, of course, the privileged elitist."
Of course there are those who will say this is just European propaganda since Popbitch is a British gossip newsletter.
Welcome to America, where war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength.

Incidentally, why have we all freaked out over the idea of overachieving elitists running for office? I understand, of course, that presidential candidates have to be able to convey that they understand/get the American public. But I see no reason why we shouldn't be attempting to elect the very best and smartest overachievers.
After all, look what happened in the last eight years, when we didn't....Isn't that Russia over there starting to invade people again?
