This Town Author: Tea Party Movement 'Has Truth on Their Side' Against D.C. Permanent Political Class
New York Times reporter Mark Leibovich may have realized after writing This Town that if you make 90% of the Washington, D.C.-No Labels-St. Albans permanent political class uncomfortable, then 90% of America will probably appreciate you.
Appearing on Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125 with Breitbart News Executive Chairman and host Stephen K. Bannon, Leibovich excoriated the White House Correspondents' Dinner, which is the symbol of the cozy interconnectedness between government officials and politicians and the press that are supposed to afflict them (the comfortable) and comfort the afflicted.
He said the event that in recent years has been emblematic of a "Boomtown" that has gone wild and become completely out of touch with the rest of the country has "jumped the shark years ago" and was "ridiculous." Leibovich said he wrote the book because it was a "good time to deconstruct what has happened to Washington" and conceded, without pretense, that he was still an insider attached to a major news organization before emphasizing how the political class and the press that cover them have become so "comfortable" and "clubby."Also read:
