Brooks has only himself to blame if conservatives can no longer tell whether he's resorting to "'litotes,' understatment, [or] even ridicule." They're so accustomed to hearing him insult conservatives, his defense of Blumenthal sounds like any other note sung from the same sheet of music.

Oh, pooh. If it went over your head, that's your fault for not seeing an obvious jab.

I've noticed that a lot of folks on FR have begun using "elitist" as an insult.

I think the definition of "elitist" in that context must be something along the following lines. "An elitist says things that I don't understand, and which test my comfortable assumptions."

Brooks is not even a decent writer.
