LIVE from the Faculty Lounge...

This morning on the 'Morning Joe' show on MSNBC, Pat Buchanan once again hit the nail on the head as other's just waltzed ever so closely to it.
They were discussing the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary and Pat said that Obama was "faculty lounge", a comment and a characterization that sums up some very complex ideas. Ideas like anti-intellectualism, a gut-level distrust of the over-educated. In the same way Sen. John Kerry appeared to be Eastern Establishment, Ivy League, 'limousine liberal', and perhaps condescending and pedantic - Buchanan painted Obama with that brush so that the image of him pontificating on some obscure international social justice subject as he swills free-trade coffee in an Armani suit in the university faculty lounge became a "mental bumper sticker" (C)2008 - Beaconite Group. These are the crafted short-hand of idea brokers, a way to concisely describe a person, place, thing or idea in a nutshell, without the extended verbiage used to soften the message.
