yeah. rich Democrats are not always so liberal with their own cash. but they can still drape themselves in the cloak of the "socially liberal," whatever that means and for whatever it's worth.

of course, even that idealism may evaporate if it means an intelligent, meritorious poor or disadvantaged student might take the place of a favored son at an elite university.

are the wealthy really "D" or "R" at all? it seems to me they're "W" first and foremost. also narcissistic. really narcissistic. presidentially narcissistic.
