I think she rocks, not only because she's smart and sassy, but because she offers and quick, concise and correct insight into the mind of the American neocon. She recently completed the Proust Questionnaire in Vanity Fair magazine. Two of her answers summed up neocons. Note, she doesn't mention the rabid rigth, but her answers decribe them (well on this board anyway) to a T....Allie, Willow, Cesspit, Tank, T, Bigreb
What is the trait you most deplore in others?
People who are proud of their ignorance.
What is it that you most dislike?
People who mock education as elitist.
I'm not a neocon by an stretch, but what do those statements have to do with neoconservatism?
Foreigners have a tendency to lump much of the right as "neocons," which has generally become a highly-charged and derogatory word outside of America to describe what they dislike in how they perceive modern American conservatism. I wouldn't asscribe Fey's comments to neoconservatives as Gump does.
But there certainly is a strain in conservatism which sneers at "elites," no doubt about it, which I find amusing, given that the right often accuses the left of "class warfare."
