14. How about the Bushes?
Don't tell me that these two guys worked for their money. At least Clinton and Gore are intelligent people who worked for their money. Most of the money came from books and in Gores case a movie. Old man Bush inherited money from the Chinese opium trade. Clinton started out poor. Young Bush never did an honest days work in his life. Should I tell you about his investment in the Ballpark?
Don't forget the ninja assassination ring, selling warhorses to Attila The Hun, and the thumbscrew concession they had during the Inquisition.
Know your BFEE!

122. What means 'exclusive?' Overused, imo.
Not 'gated,' right? Expensive, yes, as is most of Westchester.
Also, beautiful.
Who needs "gated" when you've got the Secret Service 24/7?

7. Oh boy
They are self-made folks and, just like with Oprah, I don't give a **** what they buy for themselves.
Self made? That sounds suspiciously like the Freeperish "pull yourself up by your bootstraps." Seems like I remember you DUmmies saying no one is ever self-made, that no one would ever get anywhere without help from from the community or government, and that "self-made" is a myth.

65. It's really freeperish to begrudge people the stuff they work for.

Are you shitting me? This from the internet home of class warfare?
