"the rich are different from you and me: they get taken seriously even when they’re whining"

[phantom power]

QOTD :rofl:

Digby points us to Mort Zuckerman continuing to complain that Obama is being a big meanie.

The thing is, right from the start, he was making stuff up — taking umbrage at Obama remarks that he had taken radically out of context, so as to make the very mild-mannered president sound like a rabble-rouser. In a sane world, Zuckerman’s rants would be discounted entirely as coming from someone obviously looking for ways to feel aggrieved.

But the rich are different from you and me: they get taken seriously even when they’re whining, “Ma! He’s looking at me funny!”
