Ah yes, the Howard Dean scream. Good times, good times.
It's really unusual for Marc to not name-drop, although when he does do it, one wonders why he's trying to impress the primitives, who are w-a-a-a-a-a-y below his socio-economic and intellectual class. I can't remember if he's mentioned anything yet about the time he played poker with Prince Philip, but if he were to drop his pants and show off his ass, the primitives would be equally impressed.
The expatriate "too good to live in America" Germanophile Marc is the primitive counterpart to the expatriate eurochauvenist idiot over on DU Jr., although Marc has more substance to him. Marc, the DFW primitive, comes from Judaic Old Money and Much Money, and has written, or perhaps still writes, for the
Nation magazine.
But he's the idiot's equal in pompous arrogance, and just as with the lorgnette-and-pearls crowd on DU Jr. swooning over the idiot, the more he condescends to them, the more the primitives adore Marc.
