Krauthammer punctures the Bigoted-Christian-Redneck-as-an-explanation-for-Bush's-victory myth that's being peddled by liberal pundits.
Then there's Ted Rall--the cartoonist who is not only a bigot and a racist [and I don't use those terms carelessly], but also has the unfortunate combination of being a cartoonist who can't draw and is unfunny--who writes:
If militant Christianist Republicans from inland backwaters believe that secular liberal Democrats from the big coastal cities look upon them with disdain, there's a reason. We do, and all the more so after this election.... So our guy lost the election. Why shouldn't those of us on the coasts feel superior? We eat better, travel more, dress better, watch cooler movies, earn better salaries, meet more interesting people, listen to better music and know more about what's going on in the world.
Man. If only we could find out where these "cooler movies" were playing! If Rall is so hip and smart, is "cooler" really the best term he can come up with? And if he and his disdaining friends are so smart, why do they keep making comments like this that lose elections?
