No, this fits liberals to a T. Gripe constantly about the rich people who buy influence but they are the ones doing it, which is pretty much the playbook liberals use for everything. Complain about that which they are themselves engaging in.

Exactly!

Liberal media sites--especially aimed at young, liberal women--blast "evil capitalism" and greedy white people while simultaneously pushing ridiculous $80 Tom Ford lipsticks and $500 anti-aging creams made from rose petals grown in Lady Diana's original garden and organic shea butter sourced from politically, empowered women's communes.

The liberal hypocrisy is astounding. Celebrities talk out of both sides of their mouths. Classic example is the young actress screaming "Don't objectify me!" while posing semi-clothed for her instagram.

Nope, not true. Test scores of accepted blacks were much lower than Asians that were not accepted. They did a show about this not long ago.

How did she get into Stanford, Oxford and Columbia? Probably on a Tennis scholarship with a photo of Venus Williams.

Would not be a BIT surprised if they paid Chelsea's way in. NOT. ONE. BIT. In fact, it would not surprise me if the whole thing STARTED with the Clinton Crime Family.

Sadly not surprisingly, America ranks #22 in corruption (#1 is least corrupt).

America will never be on the level of a Denmark or New Zealand when it comes to combating corruption.

Actually, it's a perfect example of why college is a joke. These kids didn't earn their way, they paid their way.

And I promise you mommy and daddy paid extra to make sure their kids were graded with extreme leniency .

College is a joke? Really? On what basis should we hire doctors, nurses, lawyers, scientists, engineers, software/hardware developers, architects, biologists, etc.? While this exposes the role money plays and the associated ego parents have with their children, college is no joke.
