must be the water

Heather Mills-McCartney, who is seeking tens of millions of dollars to split from her Beatles legend husband, has denounced the world's rich as insufferable misers and snobs.

Oh do tell.

"I don't think anything can prepare you for being treated worse than a murderer or a paedophile, when all you have done in 17 years is charity work," she said, referring to her campaigns against land mines and in favour of animal rights and vegetarianism.

Well yes we heard that pity party a while ago, but excuse me if your nut-case greeny animal-rights-based vegetarianism isn't really a charity in my book, even if the animal-rights vegetarian nutcases agree.  Same goes for those Dinky Di land mines.  I kinda think people are important too.

So what's new?

"Sadly, you have to mix at a certain level of people to raise the level of funds you need to bring about the greater good," she said. "Because people are very snobby. These people who have lots of money, they're either snobby or they're stingy. If you have lots of money, you have to be stingy - because why would you want that amount of money?"

So you can copy other people with lots of money to get all the attention that they do? Plus those accountants that help you not pay tax cost money too.  Am I getting warm?

She also compared herself to human rights crusaders down through the ages, suggesting they all had been victimised for their beliefs.

Yep.
