I either wanna Benz or a Beamer

Brent Baker writes for NewsBusters, "Katie Couric Boasts She’ll Be Buying a Prius, the Favorite Car of Obama-Loving Liberals" (emphasis in original):

Confirming her membership in Manhattan’s liberal elite, Katie Couric boasted on Tuesday’s Late Show that she plans to follow Tom Friedman’s admonition, that in refusing to move away from oil “we have met the enemy and he is us,” and so she’s realized she “should” buy a Toyota Prius, the favorite of conspicuously superior liberals, or at least a hyprid. Couric recounted how her daughter told her “‘we should turn in the car we have’ and ‘get a Prius or a hybrid.’ And I said, ‘you know, Ellie, we should do that.’ And we're going to look into it.”

Is a mere mortal capable of measuring this stupidity?

Baker can tell who Prius owners will vote for based purely on a stereotype. (22% of "Obama-loving liberals" are . .. Republicans, only 35% of Prius owners self-identify as Democrats.) Prius owners are members of the "liberal elite" because . . . well, they just are. Baker has read enough liberal minds to tell that Prius owners think they are are "conspicuously superior", whatever the hell that means. Overall, we get that idea that buying a Prius is just bad, but are not really told why. Maybe if you assume liberals do anything en masse, it becomes tainted? Cooties, perhaps?

Lastly, this clown is the "Vice President for Research and Publications at the Media Research Center." I can tell hiring is a meritocracy over there.

Well obviously Prius is evil because it's bad for the oil companies, and only a liberal would want to harm America's great corporate underpinnings. Therefore, anyone driving a Prius is clearly Socialist and also probably uses big words to confuse common folk into passing welfare laws.
