Hey, She Was Just Sticking Up for the Common Folk, You Know, Those of Us in Flyover Country

Poor Cokie gets smacked down by the good people of Hawaii:

"She's a bit of a fool that's the only thing you can say," said Rep. Neil Abercrombie. " Don't forget Cokie Roberts and the whole Washington crowd live in a kind of an incestuous relationship to one another, they talk to one another, they see one another, they know nothing about ordinary people."

In a statement, Senator Daniel Akaka said calling Hawaii "foreign" does a disservice to the hardworking patriotic Americans who call Hawaii home.
