Leadership Fail on a Massive Scale

Pretty much, yeah.  You know, our self-proclaimed elites would be a good deal less obnoxious if they weren't constantly shrieking about their own "superiority" and demonizing everybody they don't like.  It's a morally rotten arrogance that purports to lead free-thinking citizens when it really wants to dictate terms to cowed and compliant sheep.  On a related note, I've said before that our current political class is a miserable lot of scoundrels and fools.
