Monday Snark

After linking to a Salena Zito column on rootedness in flyover country and its lack in DC and NYC, Instapundit Reynolds cracks wise about the swamp dwellers who inhabit the nation's capital.

Our political class keeps demonstrating the truth of Dana Loesch’s statement that it’s "hard to run a country you’ve never been to." Not that that stops them from trying.

To which I'd add the words "and failing, repeatedly."

Afterthought: A half century ago in a sociology class we learned about Robert Merton classifying people as "locals" or "cosmopolitans" which is another way of talking about those who are rooted and those who aren't. The DrsC are not especially rooted but we choose to live in places where many residents are.
