“Is there a V.I.P. entrance. We are V.I.P.”
A woman identified by the New York Times as Laura R. Schwartz of New Jersey, wearing "a blue chiffon dress" yelling at an aide to GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney from the window of her black Range Rover as it inched along in the East Hampton, NY, line of luxury cars backed up at the entrance of one of the three mansions where Romney appeared at fundraisers for his campaign on Sunday.
Explaining her dislike of President Obama, Ms Schwartz told The Times, "I don't think he is good for Israel." While she waited, someone might have informed her Mr. Obama is not running for president of Israel.
And, as for Ms Schwartz's self-proclaimed status as a Very Important Person, I've never heard of her. Have you?
Buggerthebooboisie is dedicated to the memory and spirit of H.L. Mencken (above) who coined "booboisie," loosely defined as the middle class of the gullible masses. Mencken's observations and commentaries have withstood the test of time -- with appalling modern relevance. I invite all commentary that debunks the prevailing nonsense in America's political and social dialogue. As a newspaperman I also invite the reminiscences of others who recall the happier days of the trade.
For "I don't think he is good for Israel,” read: “He will not bomb Iran or Pakistan, re-open the war in Iraq, sanction Egypt, invade Syria, or delay the pullout from Afghanistan."
