Could I make this up? I could not.

Too delicious.
Landed gentry and titled royalty Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, “mistress” of the Ascott House, that is, the Rothschilds’ 3,200-acre family estate in Buckinghamshire, speaking on CNN of Barack Obama:
“I feel like he IS an elitist.”
You ask why I say satirizing the Extreme Right is un-possible? This is why.

Did you catch the discussion of how she, personally, has been attacked? I'll try to transcribe...
CAVUTO: You say you got in trouble - in what way?
ROTHSCHILD: Oh, the Obama people were attacking me on websites - not big, there's no reason to attack me in a big way, but--
CAVUTO: (interrupting) That's a nasty thing to do!
So, Rothschild's only "trouble" is that some people attacked her on unnamed websites? And Cavuto, of Fox "we'll pull attack stories from blogs" News has the presumption to say "that's a nasty thing to do!", then goes on to talk about "these websites, which have a history..." He tosses out MoveOn.org (though I can't find any mention of Rothschild on their site, nor can I seem to find blogs or comment boards), and she agrees with him. She goes on to cite "individual bloggers," without naming any.
Amazing.
I guess since she is a "Hillraiser=democrat" somehow makes her applicable to Rebulicans i.e elitist? Huh? Average income for a dem vs. republican is higher for a democrat. Non-story.
Obama's Leftist snobbery attitude = Elitist
"Average income for a dem vs. republican"
Debunked.
And debunked again.
Wrong, but never dead. Another extreme right zombie story that refuses to die.
And Machiavelli typifies the extremely odd notion that it’s some indefinable “attitude” (that Democrats supposedly hold and Republicans supposedly don’t) that makes one “elitist,” not being landed gentry and titled royalty and controlling unimaginable wealth and power.
That's how they can imagine some "reg'lar guy" dashing around the country between his ten homes aboard his wife's jet, yet a community organizer raised by a single mom is supposedly unbearably "elitist."
Could you make this up? Can you parody or satirize it? No. And no. Can you imagine what they sound like to their friends and neighbors? Friends and neighbors who must have stopped even trying years ago, and now just sadly shake their heads?
‘Course, when it comes to actual elitism, it’s pretty hard to top the out-of-touchness of “Things are terrific, you whiners.”
