Welcome to the final ten days of 2008.  To ring in the New Year I am bringing to you a countdown of the greatest asshats of the year, roughly in order of increasing stupidity, amusement value, and pernicious effect on the world at large.  To begin, to celebrate the end of the election, I present asshat #10 for 2008:

Last July, one of Hilliary’s supporters was troubled.  She just couldn’t bring herself to support Obama because she felt he was “too elitist.”  The woman’s name is Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild.  So we have a woman with a peerage and more money than God placing herself as the arbiter of egalitarianism.  Maybe she was just building street cred for when the revolution comes and they roll out the guillotine.  Or maybe she was looking for a PC way to say “uppity.”
