David Brooks is an idiot

Unless you've been living in a cave, you've probably heard about the rioting in France. When I picked up the newspaper this morning and turned to the op-eds, I saw a ridiculous piece by David Brooks trying to link the riots in France to gangsta rap.

Yeah, go back and read that last sentence again, I know you can't believe it.

I thought about dismantling his essay piece by piece, but then I realized all I would have to do is wait a few hours for O-Dub to do it for me, and lo, he has. Oliver says it much better than I ever could.

  1. I'm looking forward to his editorial on the rioting at H&M: http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/54068.htm

    "They seem to have adopted the same attitudes about women. Most of the exclamations can't be reprinted on this website, but you can get a sense of them, from, say, 'Back off my dress, bitch!'"
