A member of one of the oldest, wealthiest, and most famous families in the Western world calls Barack Obama an "elitist," and then endorses John McCain? You can't make this stuff up. Lynn Forester de Rothschild -- CEO of holding company EL Rothschild, a former major fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, and a member of this year's Democratic platform committee -- has announced her new allegiance to the Republican candidate.
