Lip Service
"As for European intellectuals, who command so much power in the media, universities and opinion-forming circles, they have done everything they possibly could to abuse America's initiative in Iraq and to prevent the installation of freedom. Some make it clear that they would much prefer Iraq to be run by men like Saddam than by American-backed democrats. Of course, intellectuals pay lip service to free elections but in practice have a profound (if secret) hatred of democracy. They cannot believe that their votes should count for no more than the votes of "uneducated" people who run small businesses, work on farms and in factories and have never read Proust."

UPDATE:
"These pompous fat little Republican kings, who control all three branches of government, still play the “victim card” as they always do when they feel threatened."
Read the article here, where the author then hilariously bemoans that "the Democrats [are] being blamed for feeding the atmosphere of bitter divisiveness that grips the inner sanctums of the Capitol," while demeaning Condoleeza Rice as "the original Miss Mushroom Cloud," sneering at "the Bush administration’s practice of rewarding incompetence" (while of course providing no examples), rambling wildly regarding unspecific "questionable procedures used by state officials and private companies . . . poisoning the electoral process to the point where it is no longer above suspicion," and concluding with the laughable line that "the left is blessed to have leadership as distinguished and passionate and honorable as Howard Dean, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Dennis Kucinich and Peter Stark."
It's a priceless piece of political-left paranoia and fantasy.
