Fanfare For the Common Woman

Via Jesse Auguste, the late Clinton campaign's turn to reactionary populism has produced a hilarious denouement courtesy of inevitably moronic PUMAs. A Clinton fundraiser claims on (natch) Fox News:

This is a hard decision for me personally because, frankly, I don’t like [Obama]. I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.

The fundraiser's identity?

Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild

OK, well maybe she's a black sheep Rothschild down on her luck?

Sitting down with her on a recent afternoon in the new pad--an 18th-floor duplex in River House that was previously owned by Carter Burden and Libet Johnson--it’s hard to begrudge her the excess of good fortune, thanks to her affability and occasional self-deprecations. (The Chateau Lafitte she pours--"the family wine,” as she calls it--and the heaping bowl of beluga don’t hurt, either.)

Jeez, and I thought turning Crown Royal into an uber-populist beverage was bad...anyway, if McCain starts serving Waygu beef and truffles with Cheval Blanc on the Straight Talk Express I'm sure that will turn into a populist meal too. Maybe Lady Lynn can whip something up for him...
