I am a new yorker and a conservative, I see no need to attack my city or portray the people around me as some unkempt uncoutch ghetto lefty's in such a collective fashion. This kind of elitism is what I have grown to loathe. This is despicable.

Oh, come ON! Get a grip and lighten up!

Conservative New Yorkers (at least on the Upper East Side) are saying all the time that they are living in a sea of liberal culture-swamp, that they have to use 'code' to identify each other at parties, etc.

So what Brooks asserts is GENERALLY true. And comedy DEPENDS on noticing generalizations.
