Department of Extreme Irony

"This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him. I feel like he's an elitist. . ." -- Businesswoman Lynn Forester de Rothschild, on whether she'll raise funds for Sen. Obama.

de Rothschild was a Clinton "Hillraiser" who raised at least $100,000 for Sen. Clinton's campaign. Let's see: big money fundraiser with a famous aristocratic name. But not elitist herself. Maybe she meant to say "uppity" instead of "an elitist."
