Regnery Publishing, Aug 20, 2003 - Political Science - 368 pages

"But in this look at the elites, Laura Ingraham reveals that it is they, not us, who are pickled in prejudice, morally blind, and outrageously hypocritical. In a word, it is they who are stupid. Ingraham exposes the outrageous howlers and muddled thinking peddled by a rogues' gallery of Hollywood celebs, media yuppies, trial lawyers, multiculturalists, God-haters, and race-relations bullies who are exalted as heroes by the elite." "Ingraham unmasks the shallowness of elite thinking everywhere it is found; in politics, the media, the ivory tower, arts and entertainment, and even business and international organizations. Nor does she restrict her skewering of the elite to its natural home, the Democratic Party - she ably zeroes in on elite enclaves within the GOP as well."--BOOK JACKET.
