Besides Barack Obama and Mayhill Fowler, Who Is Responsible for His Elitist-Remark Leak?
You know how political fetishists are losing their minds this week over Barack Obama's kind of awesome but kind of classist statement at the Getty manse? You know, this:
And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
The fundraising event on Billionaires Row, as most of you already know, was off limits to both plebeians and press . Fortunately, a "roach under a sofa," the incredible Mayhill Fowler, managed to slip in with an MP3 player to capture the speech. But just who will have their ass handed to them on a platter for letting Fowler in? Matier and Ross either don't know, or are being cagey. But SF Citizen has an idea. He published the invite list, with a few x's thrown in to protect the possibly guilty party. Follow the jump for the invite that you didn't get.
