“The owner of 1911 Smoke House BBQ, the in-airport restaurant where Brooks bought the costly dinner, said the journalist would have had to have downed two doubles to rack up the hefty bill.”

Fantastic! Complaining how bad things are while waiting for a plane by bellying up to the bar. Too much.

I like David Brooks even though our politics may not align.

I gave your post a like as soon as I saw the headline. I hate that guy, and I wish I had your post last week when my insufferable relative discussed how much he likes him

I use to enjoy his back and forth on NPR on Friday nights, when he would debate a liberal, now Jonathan Capeheart. Now when he comes on, I turn to another channel. He is disgusting and when the truth came out about his airport “lunch” I knew I was not imagining things. I wish NPR would quit having him on.

He proves his own point, that elite institutions turn out shits.

Look at Hawley, Cruz, DeSantis, et cet, all those Trump dicksuckers went to elite schools (Stanford, Harvard, Yale, etc) and it apparently turned them into cynical, lying, power-hungry hypocritical Republican freaks.

Maybe David Brooks should write about that rather than shitting on powerless kids trying to be heard. How bout THAT, David Brooks?!?!

Sorry Geoff, I couldn't read all of this, because that person keeps finding new lows of insufferability for me, and I've no interest in discovering how low it can go. His pollution was a big part of why I dropped my subscription to "The Atlantic."

Good lord, everyone knows airport food and drinks cost a shitpile. This ranks with Oz and his crudités dumdfuckery. Also fuck elite jerk David Brooks.
