Stephen Colbert addresses the elitist status of Barack Obama as told by Latte Drinking Media Elitists. New York Times conservative columnist David Brooks says Obama is too elitist to be seen at the Applebee’s salad bar! Which doesn’t exist though David Brooks would not know that because he is far too elitist to have ever been in an Applebee’s. Here in Dumbutt, Texas we get all dressed up (we wear boots rather than flip flops) and make reservations at high end restaurants like Applebee’s, Luby’s and Denny’s. Though I must admit to wearing flip flops at Denny’s on occasion.
