An Addendum to Whistling in the Dark

As the campaign progresses it becomes even more silly. On This Week (ABC) George Stephanopoulos asked Senator Clinton if she could name a single economist who supported the gas tax amnesty. She replied “I’m not going to put in my lot with economists.” Thereby losing any hope of gaining votes from this block of voters - Economist Vote! Later she added “Elite opinion is always on the side of doing things that really disadvantages the vast majority of Americans.” One would assume that she would not include the New York Times, which endorsed her in her state's primary. But then this statement really follows her husband's tradition of assuming that none of us remember what she said in other places. Ah well, some of us do.
