I know grappling with Doughbob Loadpants' deep thoughts is largely pointless as he's perhaps the stupidest person in our "elite" discourse today, but I suppose I must point out that this deference to authority and elites is a key feature of a certain political system that starts with the letter 'f.'
We live in a world where Jonah Goldberg imagines himself to be among the elites. And he's right.
