Nina Totenberg ashamed to admit that she went to a "Christmas Party". I find it fascinating that the power elites are so separated from the culture that they believe it is in their best interest to distance them from core cultural norms. Has a group of leaders ever, ever been so isolated from those they lead? I mean other than in colonial regimes? Hattip Instapundit.
At Newsbusters, Brent Baker catches NPR's Nina Totenberg offering an odd qualifier during an anecdote on one of her television appearances: "'I was at -- forgive the expression -- a Christmas party,'NPR reporter Nina Totenberg interjected on Inside Washington in the weekend's oddest cautionary separation from a common description for a common event, seemingly embarrassed to invoke any religious terminology for Christmas. She didn't say what she'd prefer for parties this time of the year to be named. 'Winter solstice party'? Just plain old 'holiday party'? Or a 'seasonal gathering'?"
