Ramesh, I was spewed forth from that Harvard of safety schools: GWU (also known as Georgetown Wait-list University.)

But then, I did stints at NYU and in England (which is foreign!) so I think I’ve got my brie-eating elitism bases covered.

Like this reader:

Surely we conservatives can do much better than Brie, which I’ve always found to be rather pedestrian. D’Affinois is far superior; even an especially ripe Camenbert beats Brie any day. Saying so publicly, however, would definitely call our philosophical credentials into question. But perhaps if we are exiled from the Movement for having excellent tastes, President Obama will invite us to the White House for a sommet de fromage.

But another reader wonders, how can brie be elitist if you can buy it at Sam’s Club?
