Oddly that really doesn't ring with me. Similar statements are made, and could be made, about nearly everyone on capital hill. Last I checked, I don't have a private military plane to haul around all my friends and favorite reporters, like Nancy P. Nor do I have a corporation for Carbon Credits that gets federal funding, like Al Gore. Nor do I have the ability to drown an intern in my car while drunk and have nothing happen to me, like Ted K. I wager the vast majority of Congress claims to not be elite while being incredibly elite.
