New York Times’ op-ed columnist David Brooks wrote about the “dignity code” earlier this week.
And then he confided to a MSNBC host: “I sat next to a Republican senator once at dinner and he had his hand on my inner thigh the whole time. I was like, ehh, get me out of here.”
I wonder if the menu included a lot of finger food.
According to Brooks’s own comments, he never uttered a peep of protest or terminated the contact.
Maybe this is the Washington columnist and/or Main Line Philadelphia (where Brooks hails from) version of “lay back and enjoy it”?
Lots of funny comments on this here.
David Brooks, inventor of the Bobo Term, or..””Bourgeois Bohemian” talking about a “Dignity Code” amongst the runt remains of the Republican Party is about as funny a concept as the inane chatter of the interview. If the press actaully understood the concept of Separation of Powers and how it relates directly to the Fourth Estate….instead of thinking about entertaining the public…in the manner of the hapless Brooks, we might not have debauched repressed Republican Men grappling plug ugly news journalists in public places.
Still though, the New York Legislature continuing to set the bar even lower than the Feds…for now.
