"He reminds me of a certain type I knew in high school--the kid who was given a fancy sports car for his sixteenth birthday and believed that he had somehow earned it. I hate the way he walks--shoulders flexed, elbows splayed out from his sides like a teenage boy feigning machismo."

Sounds to me like Mr. Chait here hasn't gotten over being beat up in high school.

This supports my theory that Democrats are just the elementary school kids that got picked last for kickball.

When I went to high school - the mid 70's in Staunton, Virginia - I am sure there might have been some kids whose dad bought him or her a new car. However, the majority of the kids - myself included - save money up and purchased a vehicle several years old. Myself - I had a 1966 Chevy Impala, four door hard-top convertible which was stolen in DC back in January 1976. I wish today I had the VIN just to see if it is out there somewhere. Anyway, I see more of today's kids getting new cars than when I went to school.
