Courtesy of Augustine at Red State comes this true story from CNN political correspondent Candy Crowley about John Kerry's emblematic "Green Tea Moment" with a waitress in Iowa. Telling us much about this refined aesthete's inability to come off as a regular guy to crucial swing voters.
Good point. Zell Miller'd been saying stuff like this for a while about Democrats, and Kerry specifically.
I guess I'm a bit of anomaly, though. I live in a Blue, Blue City; voted for the "Red" candidates for President, Governor and U.S. Senate; and love Green Tea. Fond of black, white and red tea, too. Haven't heard of any blue. You?

I'm fond of green tea (and white tea), too, but I wouldn't think to order it at breakfast at the Holiday Inn in Dubuque. That's the difference.
