NYT: Dude, Where's That Elite?

This wonderful woman is replacing Tom Friedman, and putting fucking Maureen Dowd into contrast like the out-of-touch Grand Dame of the Hepburn wannabes that she is. Ehrenreigh wrote "Nickled and Dimed: On Not Getting By In America" and worked at Denny's-level jobs for good while to get the research.

The Moustached One is out for three months. Babs will be slinging the real dish through the end of September. I like the way that sounds. Out with the liberal Hawkishness (now in full on retreat) in with the smashing of brittle and unproductive faux-conservative ideology. We got reconstruction to do.
