David Brooks Lying -- Driftglass, Have You Seen This?

This meal just cost me $78 at Newark Airport. This is why Americans think the economy is terrible. pic.twitter.com/1qeV9qOBL3

A burger, fries, and what looks like a glass of Scotch. A burger and fries at Newark Airport cost $17 (still seems high, but ...). Unless that glass of booze cost $61, Brooks is lying.

Maureen Dowd's response:

Red-headed stranger David Brooks is on the road again at the Newark Airport, but the price of scotch has his blue eyes crying in the rain. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be pundits.

And yes, Driftglass has seen it.
