I’m sure Mark Halperin and the noble gang at the Note would argue that they were just poking fun at themselves and the elite they hang out with…

Or, more likely, trying to bait people like me - which they seem to enjoy doing quite often - who detest the “you peasants don’t get it” tone that they project.

But could they possibly be more obnoxiously elitist than this from their list of things readers can do while the Note is on vacation?

6. Tell anyone at a Hampton’s cocktail party who wants you to speculate about what happens if Senator McCain or Senator Clinton doesn’t run for president, “Why don’t we just wait and see?”

I mean, do they realize how completely vomit-inducing that is?

And do they ever actually have conversations with normal Americans, who don’t go to the Hamptons, and probably have never even heard of the place?

Blech…
