Do you read entire interview, blog, bulletin board, or whatever the samhill the correct term is?

There's some weird people out there. Some of the questions are perplexing.

People are affecting to believe that a young lady fresh out of college is out-of-touch with us commoners for liking Mexican food, Starbucks, and sushi. Geez, if we queried a representative sample of recent young lady college graduates, how many would express the same favorites? 25% maybe?

Weird, weird, weird.

This is truly ridiculous. I don't know about other parts of the country, but everybody and their dog eats Mexican food in Texas. Starbucks are on every corner, just like everywhere else. I don't know about sushi, but this is all pretty normal stuff. Here's the full exchange on that blog:

Washington, D.C.: How come the press doesn't focus on how out of touch the Bush daughters are from mainstream America? How many people do you know whose first interview is at the age of 22? "They love Mexican food, Starbucks soy lattes and sushi." Aren't these the same values conservative groups were saying made Dean unfit to lead the country. Unfortunately, you guys seem to busy kowtowing to the Bush administration to be critical of these bimbos and their parents.

Dan Froomkin: That's an interesting point of view. I don't think anyone would expect young women who have grown up amid such privilege to be anything other than creatures of their environment. It's not their fault. I don't blame them for enjoying the things they are able to enjoy. You think they should join the Army or something?

Pathetic. Who knew going to Taco Bell was a Dean value.
