Elitist Irony
August 23rd, 2008
Is this how rich people do irony?
A nine-car motorcade took him to a nearby Starbucks early in the morning, where he ordered a large cappuccino. McCain otherwise avoided reporters.Forced into damage-control mode, his campaign aides counterattacked to reinforce their claim that Obama is an elitist.
So, McCain rides in a 9-car motorcade from his $1.65 million estate (where he’s roughing it by avoiding his $5 million condo at Camelback), disrupting local traffic so he could buy a cappuccino… and then went after Obama as an elitist because he vacationed in Hawaii–his home state, where his grandmother lives.
Hey, at least he didn’t get a latte!
