So Bill, quel culot! Who exactly are you calling “the media elite”, Harvard boy? And who do you imagine is this “vulgus” you eulogize so? In your column Here the People Rule, you write with respect to Obama’s favored poll numbers over McCain’s: “You might think this data point poses a challenge to my encomium to the good sense of the American People.” Pardon me Bill, let’s be vulgar; who the fuck uses the word “encomium” while trying to prove his understanding of the common people?
Do you really think you are proving your connection and knowledge of what the “vulgus” wants by writing a column, in the way that you write it, in the NY Times? When you write in praise of the common folk while giving us all a little lesson in word derivations from the Latin, not only are you only speaking to the media elite such as yourself, you are also seriously condescending to The People you claim to celebrate. Bill, you wouldn’t know the “vulgus” if it hit you in the face; but I don’t think you care. The “vulgus”, to you, is just an abstraction in your game of “bait the liberal elite”; and in the end, that’s really what you care about.
You are a member of the conservative elite; please accept it without trying to tell the elite of a different color, and I’m talking red and blue here, that your brand of conservatism is “of the people”. Don’t keep beating that tired old drum, or in your case, timpani about the liberal elite not understanding the “vulgus”. An average of 50% of the American people keeps voting for liberals, so it seems that the liberal elite knows something about at least half of the American “vulgus”. And while you’re at it, do stop talking about “Joe the Plumber” as if he were the epitome of the American entrepreneurial spirit; that too is an insult. But I guess the fact that he is not a licensed plumber, and has no intention of actually starting a business is beside the point, for he too is just an abstraction in the game that conservatives play in trying to make the common people think that a small increase in taxes will stop all investment in this country[1]. Hell, as it is, the Republicans running the government let that happen without raising one single tax! And above all Bill, stop zealously pushing Sarah Palin as an icon of The People who could easily lead us as our president. Here my friend, you are not smitten with the “vulgus”, it’s the “vulva” you've fallen for. Don’t worry Bill, you are not the first Jew to fall for a Shiksa, and you won’t be the last man to go down for a vulva. (Now, how’s that for vulgar?)

[1] Way I see it, “Joe the Plumber” is such a perfect image for you people, I am beginning to think he was planted to ask that question about taxation to Mr. Obama. Of course Obama should have asked him what kind of plumbing business he had that was netting $250,000. I’ve actually met owners of small plumbing businesses, I’ve yet to encounter one that nets that much... but I digress...
