View from the Top, Republican Version

I remember when George Bush, the First, was campaigning in 1988 and was bewildered by scanner technology in some store. Bush had always had some flunkie do his shopping, so he had no idea how the real world worked.

Here's the 2009 version of the same ignorance from the elite. Here is Republican Lamar Alexander telling people that the new health reform is broken just like "having a bus that only comes every five minutes".



How can ordinary Americans keep voting in bozos like this? What is the benefit of being ruled by jackasses who have never earned a living and don't understand the real facts of waiting on buses?

Is it any surprise that letting rich idiots run the country means that only the concerns of the rich (think billion dollar bailouts for Wall Street) are ever met by government while the needs of the poor are rejected with a Marie Antoinette "let them eat cake" response?
