We have a winner!: Most Heinous Hypocrite of the 2008 Presidential Election Clycle

Figuring out who is the Most Loathsome Douchebag of the 2008 Presidential Election Cycle would (will?) be a arduous task, but there’s no doubt in my mind who the Most Heinous Hypocrite would be:

If Barack Obama loses the presidential election, it may well be the result of a public perception that he is detached and elitist—a politician whose expressions of empathy for hard-working Americans stem more from abstract solidarity than a real connection to the lives of millions of citizens.

Yes, Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild is calling Barack Obama an elitist again. Congrats to her for being the least self-aware political commentator of 2008 and, in addition, I’d like to announce that she’s also in the running for the Most Unintentionally Hilarious Editorial Sentence of the Year:

While Obama supporters attempt to dismiss the charges about their candidate’s perceived hauteur, they confuse privilege and elitism.

“[P]erceived hauteur” ... that, right there, is some funny, funny shit.

Hauteur…the elitist way of saying uppity.

She is so blinded by her bigotry that she can’t see the qualities in Obama that nullify her argument. An example is the video you posted yesterday, where Obama rises above the fray in a very dignified and respectful way. It’s not hauteur, nor is it elitism. It’s Obama’s articulation skill in rebutting the media and the McCain campaign in ways the other democrats she cites in her article were unable to do. Kerry couldn’t do what Obama did in that video, thus he lost the media war. Obama won’t. Obama has an actual vision that can be communicated and it’s one that involves thinking through the issues we face, and then attempting to solve them with an intelligent approach. Fresh air!

Great expose on McCain coverup of Cindy’s drug use

What an absurd hypocrite that gold-digging jackass is. Funny how the only rationale she can offer for supporting a ticket that embodies views that are diametrically opposed to everything Clinton stood for is McCain’s POW experience and Palin’s discredited “maverick” credentials. Straight from the McCain-Palin talking points.

Clearly, this election is a game to the hoity-toity “Lady” Lynn and her sour-grapes-sucking ilk, and why not? She won’t personally suffer any inconvenience from continued GOP misrule. Millions of Americans are in danger of losing their homes. But should some awful fate befall “Lady” Lynn’s chateau, she can decamp to one of an array of vacation homes.

And it’s not like she has to worry about losing her job; she just has to stay married to Daddy Warbucks, and even if she doesn’t, I’m sure she can count on a settlement that exceeds the GDP of some countries.

Well, fuck YOU, “Lady” Lynn, and good riddance to phony Democrats like yourself. Your dreams of a Clinton Administration II ambassadorship are dashed, but you can always hope for a continuation of a fat tax break under McCain. It’s all about you, Precious Princess Petulant Pants, and even if it really ain’t, a large staff can make it seem so. Again I say, FUCK. YOU.

Obama has an actual vision that can be communicated and it’s one that involves thinking through the issues we face, and then attempting to solve them with an intelligent approach. Fresh air!

Exactly Pop.  I have been trying to explain the vision thing to the hand wringing hair pulling democrats in my life….everyone settle down it is going to be ok.

It’s all about you, Precious Princess Petulant Pants

Betty, you slay me.

... expressions of empathy for hard-working Americans stem more from abstract solidarity than a real connection to the lives of millions of citizens.

This is a joke, right?  Is she actually trying to make the subtle implication that she has a connection to any number of American citizens?  That she has empathy for hard-working Americans?  It is to laugh.

I find it a little… insulting, I guess, that a person like Lady R. has the gall to stand up and tell us Regular Joes and Janes what we need and who best represents our interests.  I’m also unclear on why she’s considered a knowledgeable political analyst whose opinions are worthy of the WSJ.  Have I missed something?

I’m also unclear on why she’s considered a knowledgeable political analyst whose opinions are worthy of the WSJ.  Have I missed something?

No, you’re not missing a thing—“Lady” Lynn is talking out of her arse, and the WSJ is doing its bit to stoke the fires of disillusioned Clinton supporter outrage in the service of the McCain campaign.

I sorta wish “Lady” Lynn would bring her patented brand of “abstract solidarity” down here to the local swamp buggy meet. Perhaps she’d be surprised to learn that the great unwashed might be so gauche as to “unseal a tin of whoop-ass” on her ladyship for her pains.

I hate to sound jingoistic, but didn’t we fight a war 230 years ago so that we wouldn’t be part of a country where people have titles like “Lady”?

When you posted this about “Lady” Lynn, the first thing I thought of was this classic SNL sketch:

Of course the Lady idolizes the McCains.  She closely identifies with both of them.

Like John, she’s a shameless social climber who married her way into wealth and power.

Like Cindy, she’s a brazen whore who stole a married man away from his wife and children to further her naked ambition.

The Lady is a Tramp.

For a laugh, you should visit her PUMA website and check out the comments section.  It’s been abandoned by the host and is overrun with spam Viagra posts and the occasional Fuck You Lady Rothschild rant. 

So sad to see the garden go back to weed.

Oh, and under Contact there’s a phone number if you want to chat with the Lady.
