Who is/are the "chattering class/es"? May I be an honorary member?
This is from a NYT article about the increased security that will be in place when Smirk* visits 'cause they're so fond of him across the pond.

"A central problem for Bush in Britain is that while he is greeted with wary respect at 10 Downing Street, his unilateralism and folksy Texas style don't go down well with the chattering classes, who regard him as exceedingly dangerous and something of a buffoon," said Anthony King, professor of government at Essex University.

Hmmm...
