Remember a couple of days back when woketard moron for The New York Slimes, David Brooks, got busted for his ridiculous swipe at why the American public's perception of Bidenomics is so bad - by posting a photo of his $78 airport meal that was shown to be $17 for the meal, $50 for two double-shots of whiskey, and the rest presumably tax and tip? Well, Brooks has since apologized for getting caught, BUT with impeccable timing, the Goon of the U.S. Senate entered the fray ... with hilarious results. 

John Fetterman’s sarcastic sweatshirt inflation tweet backfires with fact-check

Slovenly-dressed Sen. John Fetterman was left red-faced last week after his attempted dig at coverage of a New York Times columnist’s viral tweet about inflation got a rigorous fact-check.

Fetterman, 54, had taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to respond to David Brooks’ missive about a $78 lunch that he supposedly ate at Newark Liberty International Airport, which he claimed illustrated Americans’ frustration with a “terrible economy.”

“This hoodie cost me $78. This is why Fox News thinks the economy is terrible,” Fetterman (D-Pa.) wrote Friday, along with a picture of him at a lectern wearing his favorite shabby apparel.

Logan Dobson, a consultant and former GOP Senate aide, countered that while the sweatshirt only costs $50, according to its Amazon history, its price has gone up 20% since President Biden took office in January 2021.

“I took 10 seconds to check prices on carhartt [sic] hoodies and it turns out yup they’re up 20% in price since Biden was inaugurated and that kind of inflation is noticed by Americans,” Dobson wrote on X.

Heh heh heh heh heh ... this is when Brandon enters from Stage Left and says ...

Brooks had been dragged by the owner of EWR’s 1911 Smoke House BBQ outpost, who noted that the writer’s burger and fries cost only $17, meaning most of his bill was for two double whiskeys, which cost almost $30 each.

The Times columnist later apologized after drawing widespread ridicule.

“I was insensitive. I screwed up. I should not have written that tweet. I probably should not write any tweets … I made a mistake. It was stupid,” Brooks told PBS.

Fetterman’s outfit of choice on Capitol Hill — basketball shorts and sweatshirts — had led Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to relax the Senate’s formal dress code so the Pennsylvanian could vote on the floor without putting on a business suit.

David Brooks is always described - by leftists, by the way - as a "conservative" or a "moderate conservative." ROTFLMAO! Brooks is a full-on libtard posing as a squishy conservative who writes political and cultural hackery for The New York Slimes. He's a pathetic joke - always has been. 

Community Notes NUKES elitist David Brooks and his burger/booze tweet from outer space and it's GLORIOUS

http://twitchy.com/samj/2023/09/21/community-notes-embarrassed-david-brooks-even-more-n2387550

As Twitchy reported earlier, [u]David Brooks took a picture of a very expensive meal at the airport claiming THAT was why the economy was bad[/i] and yeah, that didn't go so hot for the out-of-touch elitist. Not at all.

David Brooks (@nytdavidbrooks) ~ This meal just cost me $78 at Newark Airport. This is why Americans think the economy is terrible.

What made it even worse though was when Community Notes showed up.

Ha!

Matthew Sitman (@MatthewSitman) ~ The community note on the David Brooks airport burger/booze tweet:

James Surowiecki (@JamesSurowiecki) ~ The Community Notes on Brooks' tweet says that the burger and fries cost $17 (which sounds right), making his tweet all the more mysterious. If it was satire, it didn't land. If it was meant to be serious, it made absolutely no sense.

Embrace the power of and - this didn't land AND it made absolutely no sense.

Sandy (@RightGlockMom) ~ Community Notes for the win! And, Brooks is a lush.

Did he think booze would be cheap at an AIRPORT?!

And $17 for a burger and fries isn't actually all that bad.

GayLumberjack (@gay_lumberjack) ~
Two points:
1. This might be the greatest community note of all time.
2. Mr. Brooks might be an alcoholic.

Considering some of the Community Notes we've seen, that says A LOT.

Craig Harrington (@Craigipedia) ~ Okay, now that David Brooks has gotten a Community Note showing that the food part of his $78 meal only cost $17 ... I NEED TO KNOW what's in the glass.

Jay Wolf (@nodirtpolitics) ~ According to Community Notes, burger and fries at the Smokehouse Restaurant in Newark Terminal A, cost $17.

David Brooks ordered double shots of whiskey, $50.

Total $78 including taxes.

Stop getting drunk at the airport, David.

Or at least stop lying about what your meal cost for clicks and taps on X.

Yes ... yes, we are ... at David Brooks. 

Mike Friedman (@MFriedmanNOLA) ~ Community Notes for the win.

Brooks is a liar. What a surprise. He's one of the most tedious talking heads out there. He has no idea of anything outside his upper middle class white bubble thinks or does.

He's tediously pious, but has the requisite MUCH younger 2nd wife.

He's a boor.

Ouch.

And a much-deserved ouch at that.

Brooks married his second wife, Anne Snyder, in 2017. Anne was his research assistant and is 23 years his junior.
