Savannah Guthrie statement this morning about the stimulus encapsulates the position of the elite perfectly.
It is my opinion from watching her say it this morning that She believes this too.

…joking that the results of last night mean that the Democrats will hold the seat in Delaware.
In November we are going to cure these people of this delusion.
It’s so bad that they gave a whole segment to a Salon Hit job that itself so bad that it has compelled lefty blogs OTHER than the reclusive leftist to rise to her defense due to misogyny:
What makes this article the worst thing I’ve read all day is the fact that most of what’s in it is the sort of shit that is considered (rightly or wrongly) the mundane business of doing politics, and yet is somehow ZOMG SHOCKING when done by Sarah Palin.
Monika Bauerlein, the co-editor of Mother Jones, tweeted: “I didn’t think anything could make me rear up in Sarah Palin’s defense, but this VF profile is close.”
It’s a sentiment I share.
I remain constantly infuriated at the number of pieces written about Sarah Palin that compel feminist/womanist women to come to her defense, or, at minimum, point out the absurdity of the coverage.
And this woman can’t stand Sarah Palin yet she is compelled to write this. SISU instead hits it flat out.
The Reclusive Leftist hasn’t touched this but she had this to say about the attack of the Ewoks:
Okay, Emily’s List? If you don’t want women (or anybody else) to think that there’s only one voice for women, then why are you obsessing over the political opinions of this one woman? In the gender-neutral world we all wish for—a world where women are half the human race and, as Gloria Steinem once said, a mediocre woman can do as well as a mediocre man—obviously women are going to be all over the map with their opinions, politics, and abilities. Just like men are. Yes? And the notion of one woman speaking for all women will be as ludicrous as the notion of one man speaking for all men. Yes? And while we’re not living in a gender-neutral world yet, we are living in a world where women have been active and prominent across the full political spectrum for decades now. Yes? And so your concern that people might think this one woman somehow speaks for all women is rather absurdly misplaced. Yes? And in fact your whole campaign seems to actually undermine the idea that women are simply half the human race and that no one woman speaks for all women. Yes?
Perhaps if “feminists” listed to her in 2008 they wouldn’t have to defend Palin in 2010.
Oh and if you think this is bad if she runs it will be a whole lot worse. Bank on it, and leading national feminists will keep silent.
Morning Joe guys, I like you but if even politico runs stories about how bad this story is, you might not want to highlight it.
Memeorandum thread here
Why with Charles Blow AND Al Sharpton as guests and Joe nowhere to be found.
Like I said Sharpton was brilliant. Thanks to his march MSNBC can deal with him instead of Beck.
Charles Blow is going after Beck, of course he is. Says people don’t understand. Mika seems confused that the crowd seems like “good people”, of course you are confused, for a year you have bought into the narative that you have been shoveled by the left.
6:20 Did MSNBC actually quote an unsigned e-mail from a unnamed conservative to politico as evidence of conservative opposition? Did I actually watch that? Is this what the left is reduced to?
6:50 a.m. Joe is now on the set, who will this change the coverage?
7:05 a.m. Bringing on Grover Norquist, not known as a social conservative to comment on Beck & co.
7:10 a.m. Now it’s “reported hundreds of thousands” what a difference an hour makes
7:15 a.m. Norquist dodges around
716 a.m. Can’t he just point out that Beck didn’t attack Muslims at his march, did Norquist even watch the speeches?
7:17 a.m. Norquist “I would rather have 1000 people rallies in congressional districts all over the country” So would the media, they could ignore that.
7:21 a.m. It would be really nice if they were able to have a conservative on who wasn’t tentative about Beck. It is also interesting that apparently “establishment” republicans privately are saying nasty things to Politico but don’t dare say it publicly. That suggests we need a new republican establishment.
7:33 a.m. Sharpton and Jealous? Sharpton and Jealous? they couldn’t have one speaker or supporter of Becks march on the show, give me a break!
7:46 a.m Joe mentions honoring the troops, they don’t mention code pink at Sharpton’s rally
8:06 a.m. It’s like a tea party rally, says Dean, I thought the left said tea party rallies were all these violent things, that’s what you were telling us all last year.
8:10 a.m. Dean calls Beck Father Coughlin and the people there “lost souls” He insists that Beck is a hate monger and that these aren’t tea party people. HA!
Guys bottom line is you need to hire me ASAP. I’ll tweet and chat with you from right here, give you the perspective of the conservative movement for the whole three hours every day and clue you in, and I’d do it for a lot less that the guys you have on now.
8:46: a.m. They bring up Joe Miller’s tweet, never mention this
Sources in Anchorage inform me that the five-member executive board of the Alaska Libertarian Party will convene in an emergency meeting today to discuss efforts by Lisa Murkowski’s supporters to secure the LP nomination for the Republican senator should she fail to overturn Joe Miller’s 1,668-vote margin in the GOP primary.
Not a word about the potential million dollar warchest transfer.
