The “Moron Vote”
R. Emmet Tyrell, Jr., founder and editor in chief of The American Spectator, has some comments on what he calls the “YouTubist “debate”” in a piece titled Tubist Americanos which is worth blasting through. A short excerpt.
The night of the Democratic “debate” one YouTubist appeared onscreen asking the following question (she was fully dressed): “If I can go out into any state and get the same triple grande, nonfat, no-foam vanilla latte from Starbucks, why can’t I go to any state and vote the same way?” Now this YouTubist obviously is a sophisticate when it comes to ordering coffee. Yet, I submit that when she votes, or for that matter when she pronounces on politics, she is a moron.
