Today's installment: sheer liberal arrogance

In this bunch of letters expressing pleasure at Nancy Pelosi's impending ascendance to the minority leader position, the last one is astounding for its arrogance. The writer -- a San Fran liberal himself -- asks, "Why are we, the productive, educated liberals, subsidizers of America's heartland, not relevant to the debate as to how to administer what is in effect our philanthropy?"

The productive, educated liberals? Subsidizers of American's heartland? Administrators of our philanthropy?

This guy does little to change the stereotypical view of a Left Coast Liberal.
