Such sacrifice by David Brooks! He will be temporarily forgoing following Bruce Springsteen concerts around Europe with his fellow wealthy bobos in order to mix with the great unwashed.

Another way to say this:

Brooks leaves the Ivory Tower to tell the plebs why they’re wrong.

David Brooks should join with his fellow Canadians Charles Krauthammer, and Ted Cruz, and go back to Canada, and leave us in peace.

Occasionally...and as recently as a week ago...I travel through New Canaan and Greenwich,CT.Ten bucks says that half the senior editors and staff of the Slimes live in one of those two towns.

Bubble? I suppose that's *one* way to put it.

He took a job from Bill Buckley but in retrospect perhaps he should have chosen an entry level position at Fort Benning...

“David Brooks Admits He Lives in Wealthy Bubble and to rectify that he plans to break out of his New York Times cocoon and travel down the Heart of Darkness to mix with the hoi polloi.”

It won’t work: elites like that are always encased by their elitist “wealth” bubbles no matter where they go or what they do. Elitist bubbles are attitudinal not locational.

Liberals like Obama and Hillary especially believe they are morally superior.

Sounds like he’s going about clinical trials, or something, but at a tractor pull:

“I’m going to FIND OUT about THEM..!”

That’s even more insulting than he was before, which was already pretty insulting.

It’s like, as with butterflies, he’s going to push a pin through you, and put you in a shallow glass cabinet, with an affixed label.

I think I’ve never encountered such a consummate snob.

You mean he is going down to the Bronx to hang out, or is going to cross 110th street and see how real people live?????

"Trump’s success grew out of that pain, but he is not the right response to it. The job for the rest of us is to figure out the right response."

Idiot! How can you know it is not right and yet still not know what is right.

Oh, man. Uh, Dave? Dave, buddy, take a little advice from yer old friend BtD: touring Europe with a millionaire who plays a guitar (poorly) for a living does not constitute Keepin' It Real, OK, amigo? Taking that New Definition of Masculinity act into a logger bar hereabouts will get yer sorry butt kicked by some 15-year-old Little Sister with a fake ID who really hasn't ever seen anything like you outside of that grotesque menagerie called television. This is America, Dave, and you don't belong. Good to see that you're getting a clue but it might be a little late.

We're coming for you, Dave. Had enough at last. Your snoot is cocked so high at the moment you'd drown in a rain storm, bud, and this is for your own good. Stand by, baby, we're coming.

A while back this toff wrote a book called “Bobos in paradise” where he self described as a Bohemian Bourgeois.......it was another obnoxious pane to himself and his kind. Mostly descriptions of their weird shallow lives where he coveted his neighbors granite countertops ( I kid you not)
