People on the Intertubz is mean.
Spare Me the Purity Racket

After I interviewed Nancy Pelosi a few weeks ago, The HuffPost huffed that we were Dreaded Elites because we were eating chocolates and — horror of horrors — the speaker had on some good pumps.
Then this week, lefty Twitter erected a digital guillotine because I had a book party for my friend Carl Hulse, The Times’s authority on Capitol Hill for decades, attended by family, journalists, Hill denizens and a smattering of lawmakers, including Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Susan Collins.
I, the daughter of a D.C. cop, and Carl, the son of an Illinois plumber, were hilariously painted as decadent aristocrats reveling like Marie Antoinette when we should have been knitting like Madame Defarge.
Yo, proletariat: If the Democratic Party is going to be against chocolate, high heels, parties and fun, you’ve lost me. And I’ve got some bad news for you about 2020.
The progressives are the modern Puritans. The Massachusetts Bay Colony is alive and well on the Potomac and Twitter.
…
The rest of us more imperfect beings don’t want the world to perish. And maybe justice can be done, without losing the White House, the House, chocolate, high heels, parties and fun.
Happy for you to express your selfishness in print like that for all the world to see.
Umm… grow up dude. Accept that you won’t be able to appeal to your privilege and post anonymously, subjecting your statements to the “Scientific” Test (Can I try this at home? Yes. Will I get the results predicted? Well, that’s the test isn’t it?) if the hurtful calumny of others is negatively effecting your personal sense of self worth.
Until then quit whining because it only adds to your well deserved and established reputation for being a stuck up prig.
