No believer in superior artistic sensibilities.

This is pretty choice from a commenter over at Gates of Vienna:

I see little reason to be a fan of the "artist" as a superior caste, better than the rest of humanity. If I want an intelligent opinion on a topic, I'm more likely to get it from the person next to me on a bus than at a famed artist colony. And the idea that artists are secular prophets with a special insight into truth is as silly today as when it first became popular in the nineteenth century.

Clearly this commenter is not familiar with the economic, military, and foreign policy acumen of Susan Sarandon, Garrison Keillor, and Barbra Streisand else he would not make such reckless assertions.
