Are Fish Tacos The New Latte?

How do we characterize people we consider effete and out of touch?  A popular term has been latte drinker.  As in "Nancy Pelosi is a latte liberal."  But I discovered some new language while plumbing the depths of Kim's UC Civil War post yesterday.  The article references an op-ed in the Modesto Bee, by a fellow named Jeff Jardine (cached version here, for now at least), in which the offending parties at UC San Diego are called "sun-soaked, fish taco-eating egotists". 

"Nancy Pelosi is a fish-taco-eating liberal."  That just rolls off the tongue.

    Personally, my favorite characterization upon those lines is Jonah Goldberg's immortal description of the French: "Cheese-eating surrender monkeys." Brilliant.
