Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday, her spokesman tells CNN. [...]
“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”
Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Forester is a member of the DNC’s Democrats Abroad chapter and splits her time living in London and New York.
Yes, meaningless, but still funny. Lady Rothschild must be terribly uncomfortable with elitism...

"elitist/elite/elitism" are among the dozens of words rendered effectively nonsensical and meaningless by their completely cynical usage by partisan mouthpieces and that usage's uncritical echoing by the press and the media.
It hurts... ow, my brain.
Yes, but this was so extreme. Why not say he was too inexperienced? Why not say he did deserve it? For this woman to call him an elitist is sooo strange.
It's like the politicos have forgotten what words mean.
Well let's make it unanimous. It's really, really strange. In fact I think the Rothschilds are the richest private citizens in history. I'll have to do research again on them, but I think they invented the modern concept of a lending bank, and basically held all of Europe's royal wealth at some stages. Often Rockefeller is cited as the richest private citizen ever, and if you calculate his wealth as a percentage of GDP I think that makes sense in the modern-economy way. But the Rothschilds at some point or other could be reasonably said to have held the mortgage of the French and English crowns at the same time.
Well it's strange as hell, anyway.
