🍔 ✈️ 🥃

As you may know, David Brooks found himself in Newark Airport with enough time to buy a hamburger 🍔 and several glasses of brown liquor. 🥃 That’s according to the restaurant in the airport.

Brooks’ xweet was heard ‘round the world, but the best responses belong to Doug J Balloon.

The First Amendment issues:

There is no constitutional prohibition against drunk-tweeting about airport bar prices, so I don’t see why liberals are attacking David Brooks. 

-Jonathan Turley

The (obvious, really) sheet pan connection:

Wish you had time to travel? These sheet-pan burgers and fries will make you feel like you're at the Newark Airport.

The inevitable Maureen Dowd article:

Whiskey River, Take My Mind 

Red-headed stranger David Brooks is on the road again at the Newark Airport, but the price of scotch has his blue eyes crying in the rain. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be pundits. 

by Maureen Dowd

And personal favorite and best of class:

Recently I took a friend with only a high school degree to a deli at the Newark airport. Suddenly I saw her face freeze up as she was confronted with sandwiches named 'Padrino' and 'Pomodoro'. I quickly asked her if she wanted to go somewhere else and we got drunk on scotch.

🤣🤣🤣🫠

As well as capitalism at its finest.
