It isn't "wrongness" that makes David Brooks so entertaining. It's that he's the Thurston Howell III of pundits. You can tell he has no spite for the rest of humanity and is fundamentally empathetic to the struggles of his common man. He's just doesn't grasp that his conception of "common man" is wholly removed from most of America, which makes his empathy feel like well-intentioned condescension from another planet.
