Sounds like you talking about non-Ivy-leaguers, AI.

Most of the writers I know work every day, in obscurity and close to poverty, trying to say one thing well and true. Day in, day out, they labor to find their voice, to learn their trade, to understand nuance and pace. And then, facing a sea of rejections, they hear about something like Barbara Bush’s dog getting a book deal.

This writer's got a point. But she forgot to include Oprah getting book deals next to Barbara Bush's dog.

Also, if joe the plumber isn't paying taxes, it's a bit upsetting, especially considering he's not contributing his share to purchasing body armor for yankee soldiers.

"the real question is who gives a flying shit about joe the plumber. "

Le Pew, however pauvre your powers of observation be even you should have got this one:
All those PP'ers who fill the NYT and other MSM Party Line outlets with screeds against Joe the Plumber are the ones who give a flying shit 'bout Joe the Plumber.
Your bros, ho.

an interesting perspective. In reality though, Mac was the one trying to get as much mileage out of Joe as possible and the MSM had to balance the nonsense by slamming the poor sucker.

Here’s Palin’s response, after Matt Lauer asked her when she knew the election was lost:

“I had great faith that, you know, perhaps when that voter entered that voting booth and closed that curtain that what would kick in for them was, perhaps, a bold step that would have to be taken in casting a vote for us, but having to put a lot of faith in that commitment we tried to articulate that we were the true change agent that would progress this nation.”

I have no idea what she said in that thicket of words. And if I -- a practitioning licensed professional in the arts of journalistic communication through wordsmithery -- cannot hack my way through Palin's verbal underbrush with my trusty J-school narrative machete, I can only think how extra-hard it is for you, the layperson.

Har, har.
