Dan Quayle on the Cultural Elite

Only in America can a multimillionaire’s son point at someone else and call them “the elite.” But it’s been done so many times for so many years now that it hardly qualifies as news. In America, wealthy layabouts have always enjoyed getting ordinary folks upset at anyone who’s gotten an education and put it to work.

When the Germans and the Japanese decide to follow Quayle’s example--that will be news. Coming up, just after the ski report from Hades.
