I Hate Quoting This Person

I hate quoting this person, so I'll just provide the quote and you'll have to find it yourself.

But the politics of the New Elite are not the main point. When it comes to the schools where they were educated, the degrees they hold, the Zip codes where they reside and the television shows they watch, I doubt if there is much to differentiate the staff of the conservative Weekly Standard from that of the liberal New Republic, or the scholars at the American Enterprise Institute from those of the Brookings Institution, or Republican senators from Democratic ones.

This is why I ignore the political comments about "elites". And, frankly, when it comes from an "ordinary person," I tend to file them in the willfully ignorant category.
