[supergee]

[Sarah] Palin said the "elitists on both coasts" call this area "flyover country." However, she said, she thinks of it instead as the heartland and the salt of the Earth. Using food metaphors, she likened this region's people to the beef patties inside a Big Mac or the good, creamy filling in the middle of an Oreo cookie. "You're the meat and the sweet stuff."

Thanx to Charles Pierce
