"In the dictionary, the word elitist, it says, is a person enjoying superior intellectual, social, or economic status. Now both Obama and McCain by definition then would be elitists -- they are members of the most exclusive club in America: they're in the US senate. This anti-elite crap are just both sides trying to appeal to the working man. You want to appeal to the working man? Here's how you do it: create jobs so he has some place to go to work!"

"There are two elite men competing to govern the country. I say that is the way it should be, by the way. I'm fine with that. I'm fine with elistists running the country. Y'know, people say 'Oh, I want the president to be somebody just like me.' Not me! I'm an unreliable drunk and a pathological liar! We don't want someone-- We can't vote somebody like me into the White House like that ... again! We can't do that again!"

-- Craig Ferguson, in the opening monlogue for the CBS television program, The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, episode aired wee hours of 2008-09-19 (presumably recorded 2008-09-18)
