When This Blows Over

You’re just in or you’re out. And it doesn’t matter if
you’re in media or at a think tank or the State
Department or in the administration or on the staff of
an elected congressman or senator - you are an elitist.
You’re there. You’re in the club. You’re in the
establishment. And that’s what they think is
threatened here. They’re worried that their little
fiefdom is gonna be blown sky-high. They’re worried
that their little protective club where everybody’s
looked out for and protected and their futures are
guaranteed - that’s what they’re worried about.
Plus, they’re worried about their own influence
and effectiveness. How could this have happened?
They own everything, in their minds. They own
public opinion. How could this guy survive
everything they did to take him out? They’re
taking it personally. They can’t believe it. And
they’ll be damned if it’s gonna happen again and
damned if this guy’s gonna succeed. They can’t
afford for him to succeed at anything! It blows up
the illusion that only they have the brains and the
smarts to run things.”
