Defining The "Real" America

Even the Republicans on Fox News have become too elite to suit the "regular folks".

On his radio show today, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh toed the McCain campaign line and lashed out at the Fox All-Stars panel for their criticisms of McCain. He noted that during their post-debate analysis, the All-Stars — including Bill Kristol, Nina Easton, Mort Kondrake, and Juan Williams — were somewhat critical of McCain’s performance. “The Fox All-Stars, they’re not America,” Limbaugh concluded. “They have become elites”:

LIMBAUGH: You don’t know how hard this is for me to say folks, Roger Ailes is one of my closest friends. … Saw him this weekend, I spend a lot of social time with him. It is really hard for me to tell you what I really think about the Fox All stars reaction to this debate was last night. … The Fox All-Stars have become elites too.

Welcome to the elitist crowd, Fox All-Stars! Those of us who habitually form independent thoughts and then string words together to form complete sentences in support of those thoughts are always happy for company (although I never thought I'd be saying that to you!).
