My dear Ms. Lynn Forester de Rothschild, you are cordially invited .......

...... to go fuck yourself.



John McCain endorsed by high-profile (and very rich) Hillary Clinton fundraiser

Among ardent Hillary Clinton supporters, one of those who most vocally declined to follow the candidate's lead and line up behind Barack Obama was Lynn Forester de Rothschild (New Jersey born, she married into the famed British banking family in 2000).

Back in early July, as Obama and Clinton briefly worked the fundraising circuit together, De Rothschild made clear she would have none of the push for party unity. At the time, she told CNN that "frankly I don't like . I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him."

Nothing has changed for her since then, and today she formally announced her support for John McCain. In a statement released by his campaign, De Rothschild said:

In an election as important at this, we must choose the candidate who has a proven record of bipartisanship and reforming government, and that's John McCain. We can't afford a president who lacks experience and judgment and has never crossed party lines to work for meaningful reform.

Amid tough economic times and foreign policy concerns, we need someone who is ready to lead. Although I am a Democrat, I recognize that it's more important to put country ahead of party and that's why I support John McCain.

A lawyer and wealthy entrepreneur in her own right who splits her time between New York and a country estate in England, De Rothschild raised scads of money for Clinton and is a member of the Democratic National Committee's Platform Committee (though perhaps not for long).

1. Why would she do this?

No one gives a fuck who she is...she isn't going to influence the polls...

Shell be kicked from the DNC, any progressive organizations she worked for, have friendships strained...

What the hell is she getting out of it...is she really this stupid? The Republicans aren't going to do shit for her.

2. Didn't you hear?...

..."He's arrogant." Translation: "He don't know his place."

Someone with her lifestyle calling someone else elitist is certainly "rich." (All pun intended)

12. Are you kidding?

She is one of the parasite class, the people that matter. She also bring huge economic clout to the table.

3. I saw her on MSNBC a while ago

One of the running captions underneath while she was speaking said "Rothschild says Obama is an elitist"

I guffawed at that and called my co-worker in to see it...unbelieveable!:rofl:

4. That's LADY Forester de Rothschild to YOU

GET IT RIGHT, DAMMIT!

And my GOODNESS, doesn't she look pleased with herself in that picture?)

9. Once again, I invite all my fellow DUers to skewer Lady Rothschild ...

... on the Truthiness Encyclopedia.

I've started the page, with a few sections that need a little info about lady Rothschild's past and some pictures.

http://www.wikiality.com/Lady_Lynn_Forester_de_Rothschild

If you want to take a stab at satirizing this "non-elitist" the page has the tone of a proper English butler introducing his mistress to the media.

Or something.

Please join in and remember it's satire.

14. No one will accept my invitation? n/t

10. Come the revolution, Lady Rothschild's head will look quite fetching in a basket

[SmokingJacket]

11. And she's calling OBAMA an elitist??

Dear God. When did it happen that millionaires with multiple houses began to be able to call normal people elitists without being laughed out of the room???

[RollWithIt]

13. She's wearing $50,000 outfits and Obama's an elitist....

Go figure.
