Thank goodness for Duke basketball, or I'd just have to live upon my memories of the Larry Bird-era Boston Celtics (rather than that uppity and militant Bill Russell-era).
But, this reverence for the rich, the entire shtick that the wealthy are morally superior to their financial inferiors is not going to abate until the guillotines get rolled out, metaphorically or literally.
Secretly, the teabaggers look up to these cretins, as do all diehard Repugs. That just means that it's going to take them a lot longer to figure out that they've been pwn3d. They may not figure it out until they're having to dumpster-dive behind MickeyD's for scraps, but, when they do, they're really going to pissed, and there's no telling where that anger will be directed the next time.
I don't see any good coming from these paeans to the Masters of the Universe. Brooks ought to know better, but, maybe he figures--perhaps accurately--that the hoi polloi don't read the Times....
Everybody knows it is their own fault that those lazy, shiftless folks are poor. If they would just work hard and lift themselves up by their bootstraps like Dubya did, they too could make something of themselves.

Taibbi gave Brooks a few good smacks in the chops over this one.
All of them deserved.
