I love this bit from Chuck Schumer’s piece in Newsweek (linked in our web briefing) It seems he is so out of touch, his only working class friends are imaginary — and he talks to them all the time:

Biking through New York’s boroughs in 2005, I thought about some old friends, Joe and Eileen Bailey. Though they are imaginary, I frequently talk to them. To me, they represent the hardworking and often-ignored families who are not tuned in to special-interest newsletters or editorial pages, but want a little something more from their government and their leaders.
