The 'educated' class

There's been some discussion lately about an op-ed piece by David Brooks, looking at the difference between the 'educated class' and the normal Americans. By far the best (at least to me) was this one:

To acknowledge this is to indict their own judgment, to face the fact they themselves may be less than insightful, that "talking like us" means next to nothing, and that writing for magazines doesn't equip one for greatness, or leadership. In fact, it only equips one to write for more magazines.

This reminds me of something that Dr Laura says ...... people won't say that the things they do are bad, even when they know they're bad, 'cuz then it makes them bad.

So don't expect anyone who sang Obama's praises to ever, ever admit that they were wrong about him.
