Great quote from DougJ at Balloon Juice. After you read it, you will never read David Brooks quite the same again...
I think elite journalists have set up this fantasy morality play where their own high-school selves—geeky and unpopular but smart and hard-working—represent everything that is good while their insufficiently adoring teachers and cool athlete classmates represent everything that is evil. Of course, good triumphed, Joe Klein is a millionaire now, while the cool athletes (now adults) can’t earn a living wage and the teachers are being stripped of their collective bargaining rights.
