Sullivan fisks leftist Joan Didion

You can find it here. A sample:

When the only educated people you know hold identical views to yours, it's an easy step to assuming that all those other mysterious creatures out there who disagree with you are simply dumb anti-intellectual jingoists. The cocoon blinds Didion in other ways as well. Many times in the piece, she recounts going out into the country to talk to real people about 9/11. She doesn't seem to realize that the people Joan Didion might meet in bookstores -- the ones who have come explicitly to hear her speak, no less -- might not be completely representative of the country as a whole. Memo to Didion: Get out a little more.

A pundit once said that Democrats think Republicans are evil and Republicans think Democrats are stupid. That may be accurate, but Democrats think Republicans are stupid too.
