    If Chait weren't male would he still be considered a serious commentator? Much less a "wonk"?

        @emptywheel male is definitely necessary, but not sufficient. Chait et al. come from a very small, white, elite school world

        @DikaiosLogos So do I, but no one would ever call me a wonk! (Not like Chait's place should be taken by me--it shouldn't.)

        @emptywheel I'm from that world, too & grew up around some of his old TNR buddies. But within those demos, a certain personality is favored

        @emptywheel I have no idea for whom he would be propagandizing. His work is thoroughly sourced, and the analysis and perspective are solid.

        @brianhurn Today is not the day for me to talk about how wrong he has been bc I'm ready to burn US health care down to the ground.

        @emptywheel Based on Laura Ingraham and Maureen Dowd I think once you're in the serious commendator club they can't kick you out

        @JakeLaperruque But aren't they validated on a slightly different stage? I mean, sure, Chait is marginally more serious than Brooks. But NYT

        @emptywheel Yeah, I guess Dowd isn't a "wonk" (Ingram probably?). It's a good point, but I think a lot of these guys are just invulnerable

        @emptywheel Also when you talk that much some things will be silly. To me Richard Cohen and Bill Krystol are in their own always-wrong spot

        @emptywheel isn't this kind of true for [insert every male described as a "wonk"]?

        @juliacarriew I don't think so. I disagree with Ezra, but he would still be, deservedly so. Jonathan Cohn absolutely merits it.
