What is a Limosine Liberal?

Question

What is a Limosine Liberal and could you please give me a well known example of one?

Answer 1

"a wealthy or well-to-do person of liberal political inclination. It is sometimes used as a term of contempt for those espousing the cause of poor people, without having to endure the discomfort that their policies may inflict on others, such as the lower middle class."

John Edwards who lives in his enormous house and doesn't talk to his neighbors in the trailer park across the street is a prime example.

Answer 2

It's a dig at people with money who take a position that helps the poor instead of a position that helps themselves.
