From driftglass:

I have been writing about Mr. David Brooks since I started blogging. Almost 13 years now. And I can tell you one thing that is absolutely true: David Brooks and Sean Hannity are in the exactly same business.

— while David Brooks’ clientele are more Bert Cooper —

— but Mr. Brooks and Mr. Hannity are most assuredly in the same business.

– More –
