During Wednesday's edition of The Ingraham Angle, host Laura Ingraham took issue with liberals' characterization of themselves as "for the little guy," arguing that they are actually "elitist snobs at heart." To back up her claim, Ingraham talked about how New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd "used to write these pieces mocking the cultural and culinary tastes of Bush 41 and Barbara," specifically noting how she mocked the Bushes for watching "America's Funniest Home Videos." Ingraham argued that Dowd's coverage of the Bushes came with the subtext, "look at the Bushes, Ivy-league blue bloods but still unsophisticated and frankly not all that smart."
