Lady Rothschild thinks Obama is elitist. Insanely rich Lynn Forester de Rothschild, an ardent Hillary Clinton supporter who has endorsed John McCain and Sarah Palin, could have spared herself the ridicule coming her way today if she hadn't said she thinks Barack Obama is "an elitist." The differences between the Republican and Democratic candidates are significant, and she could have singled out any number of meaningful positions to explain her move to McCain's side. But elitist?

Very, very few people occupy that truly elite niche of wealth, power and privilege that enfolds the family Rothschild. And giving Lady Rothschild her due, she was a fabulously wealthy lawyer and entrepreneur who made $100 million on her own before she married her fabulously wealthy husband (and honeymooned at the White House with Hillary and Bill).

Here's where the Rothschild's kick back and connect with the little people. It's their spread in Buckinghamshire.

A separate point of hypocrisy is Lady Forester de Rothschild's abandonment of economic theories she held during the Democratic primary. In support of Clinton's candidacy she told Portfolio: "What is in the interest of all Americans? I think if history is our guide, we've had stronger economies, more wealth creation under Democratic presidents than Republican presidents. So I don't understand why all my capitalist friends aren't Democrats."

Maybe Milady, who was born in New Jersey, has spent too much time in England. She probably meant to say that Obama is uppity, not elitist. That's got to be it.

New McCain royalty surrogate, Her Royal Highness Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, calls voters "rednecks"
"The people out, you know, who are the rednecks or whoever, are bitter." - McCain surrogate Her Royal Highness Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, CNN, 9/17/08
Ah yes, nothing shows that John McCain understands the plight of working Americans like a woman with a royal title and $100 million referring to American voters as "rednecks" in the middle of an economic crisis.

The McCain campaign's new urgency about the financial crisis didn't entirely clear his schedule this morning.

My colleague Amie Parnes reports that he made it to his scheduled morning meeting with Lady Lynn de Rothschild, a Clinton backer who recently came out in support of him.

News Alert! Some fancy lady named Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild has decided that Barack Obama is an "elitist" and therefore she's going to endorse John McCain. It turns out ol' Lady Lynn Forester der von Rothschild -- who "splits her time time between London and New York" -- was a major fundraiser for Hillary Clinton.

After Obama beat Clinton in the Democratic primary, Lady de Rothschild was probably like, "Boo-hoo, my candidate lost, waah waah, nothing ever goes my way! Jeeves, please lower me into my diamond bathtub -- which is filled with real diamonds -- and shampoo my hair with the triple-distilled tears of orphans. Also, I command you to perform a champagne enema on one of my fine Arabian stallions while I liveblog it on my solid gold typepad account. C'est tres magnificique! (sp?)"

In a display of the trenchant policy analysis that has made her famous, Madame Lady Lynn Forest Whittaker de Rothschild von Pooter explained her McCain endorsement by saying of Obama: "Frankly, I don't like him."

I'm sure Obama will lose a lot of sleep over this. I know he was craving the endorsement. After all, we're talking about Baroness Lassie Lynn de von Forester d'el der McRothschild von de Beers VIII, the type of lady every American can relate to and wants to be friends with and definitely doesn't laugh at as soon as she turns her back (to check on her portfolio of private planets she owns).

Maybe now she and Cindy McCain can go shopping together and buy jewels at Cartier and be all like, "Ooh girl, that gem looks so good on your earlobe!" or whatever it is stupid rich old ladies do all day.

  • Hindsight is 20/20. Obama is an elitist. Right. Some people were never Obama supporters. One of them was this Lady Rothschild who had it right. Things would be better with Hillary yet this brainwashed talking head on MSNBC was determined to attack Hillary and hoist up Obama.

  • Her Royal Highness? Lady Rothschild is not a HRH

  • Lady Lynn supported Hillary Clinton lock, stock, and barrel and soon as Barack gets the nomination, she jumps ship?........is anybody else scratching their heads? Mccain was prolife, voted with George Bush 90% of the time, was an opponent of gay rights, wanted to privatize social security, defund social programs, had ethic violations, etc. Now maybe its me but I don't think she supported Mccain because of his political views, their had to be an underliying issue, hmmm.. maybe a hint of racism?

  • Sarah Palin made it quite clear what she and McCain stood for. She explained that they were "mavericks" and that they'd be doing, you know, 'maverickee kind of things' in office. Isn't that clear enough? LOL

  • Question: One has to ask why the wife of "Sir" Evil-lyn de Rothschild is taking a position completely contrary to her husband's Fascist aspirations for the entire world.

    The false paradigm, the illusion of freedom of choice, perhaps?

    There's not a single honest politician in the bunch, that you can take to the bank, even one of Sir Evil-lyn de Rothschild's banks.

  • @ColdCypher Except for the moron bit that is.

  • @ColdCypher Well, I am not about to argue with that.

  • @pammyoneto Youre a moron. For one, its vulgar. Second, Regality is not synonymous with charitable, friendly, and sympathetic for the plights of the 'rabble'. The Windsor family is without a doubt one of if not the most elitist family on the face of the planet.

  • I love how Fox News is so ridiculously conservative and MSNBC is liberal. However I'm leaning towards MSNBC because there are actual facts. Not twisted information to mislead the general public. Also Bill O' Reilly. Enough said. Fox sucks.
