TOTALLY connected to reality

More on the Romney fundraiser in the Hamptons...about as embarrassing as you'd think:


A woman in a blue chiffon dress poked her head out of a black Range Rover here on Sunday afternoon and yelled to an aide to Mitt Romney, “Is there a V.I.P. entrance. We are V.I.P.”

Laura R. Schwartz of New Jersey, the woman inside the Range Rover, complained that Mr. Obama had not visited Israel as president, a slight to the country, in her eyes. “I don’t think he is good for Israel,” she said. Mr. Romney, she said, “is a fresh face.”

A few cars back, Ted Conklin, the owner of the American Hotel in Sag Habor, N.Y., long a favorite of the well-off and well-known in the Hamptons, could barely contain his displeasure with Mr. Obama. “He is a socialist. His idea is find a problem that doesn’t exist and get government to intervene,” Mr. Conklin said from inside a gold-colored Mercedes as his wife, Carol Simmons, nodded in agreement.

Ms. Simmons paused to highlight what she said was her husband’s generous spirit: “Tell them who’s on your yacht this weekend! Tell him!”

Over Mr. Conklin’s objections, Ms. Simmons disclosed that a major executive from Miramax, the movie company, was on the 75-foot yacht, because, she said, there were no rooms left at the hotel.

I haven't read the book yet, but from the reviews and excerpts, Chris Hayes seems to have really nailed it with Twilight of the Elites.

Hell, I'm surprised they managed to drive without getting into a wreck, though I'd guess that's more a matter of other drivers doing everything to stay out of the way.

I'm so old I remember watching that disgusting skank, Joan Rivers, years ago on either Johnny Carson (before he banned her) or Dick Cavett. Talking politics she gets serious and says, "I could never vote for anyone who was against Israel."

Almost came out of my chair. Israel was more important than the integrity of the U.S.

Thought to myself, "Well, if you mean that, and since you are Jewish, move there! You will instantly be a citizen and, in a few years, your daughter can be drafted into the Israeli Army!

Please go, Joan. And take the "Schwartzs of New Jersey" with you.

If you think Israel is more important than the country you live in, then you need to just fucking move there and not come back.
