Memo to Brooks: When is the last time you went to Burger King?

Stupid is as stupid does..

Crooks and Liars:

We understand why a Republican like David Brooks would try to paint Obama like this, but why the heck is David Gregory saying it’s a very interesting point? It’s back to the “who would you drink a beer with” routine from rich, Republican elites that have nothing in common with the average, working class of this country. Does John McCain’s 100 million dollar wife and their life style make him more like a Burger King guy or a Country Clubber? And let’s ask Brooks when was the last time he ate at an Applebee’s or TGIF? I’m just asking.

transcript via MSNBC:

DAVID BROOKS, “NEW YORK TIMES”: Obama‘s problem is he doesn‘t seem like a guy who can go into an Applebee‘s salad bar and people think he fits in naturally there. He has to change to be more like that Applebee‘s guy and as he‘s done that he‘s become much more transactional. Much more, I‘m going to deliver this and this and this to you on policy.
