This is the most absurd anti-Democrat spin I’ve heard of to date:
Now they’re making up weird new rules as they go along. Here’s the money quote from the video:
And it’s just one of those sort of weird things. You know, when the owner of the diner says, “Here, have some coffee,” you say, “Yes, thank you,” and, “Oh, can I also please have some orange juice, in addition to this?” You don’t just say, “No, I’ll take orange juice,” and then turn away and start shaking hands.
Who knew? Most likely, Chris Matthews didn’t know about that rule until it came out of his mouth.
This is all part of one media narrative. Obama is an elitist who can’t bowl and doesn’t know how to eat at a diner. He’s not like “us” media folks who understand Joe Lunchpail. (Pay no attention to our million dollar paychecks and summer homes in Nantucket.) It’s not just Chris Matthews, though he’s the leader of the pack on this meme. Gail Collins, at the New York Times, finds Obama “disturbingly Ivy League“. This “posh Ivy League elitist not man of the people” narrative, by the way, coexists comfortably with the Obama as radical America hater narrative. Do they contradict themselves? Very well, they contradict themselves.
