Taking a break from running down a few link relating to Our Mr. Brooks' latest passel of journalistic dereliction long enough to lay clear title to the name "Stately Whine Manor" (tm) for his new digs.
From the Washington Post (h/t Mike the Mad Biologist for the story)
Surreal estate: David Brooks moves from Bethesda to Cleveland Park
By The Reliable SourceShould you ever have occasion to read Mr. Brooks' interview in Playboy wherein he describes his exhausting, joyless life as America's most prominent Conservative Public Intellectual, just remember that he his doing all of this -- all of the endless lying, all of the tireless hippie punching, all of the acting as the eager creature of power -- for money.
Price: $3.95 million
Details: The New York Times op-ed columnist and wife Sarah are trading up — from their longtime home near Bethesda’s Burning Tree Club to a century-old (exquisitely renovated) five bedroom, four-and-a-half bath house in Cleveland Park. It includes a two-car garage, iron and stone fence, generous-sized porch and balcony, and what appear to be vast spaces for entertaining. The timing seems to have been right: After only a few days on the market, their old place (which also boasts five bedrooms) is under contract for $1.6 million.
Because that Centrist stooge dollar is an excellent dollar.
(BTW, for the OFA people who are flooding into Chicago to run Obama's Midwest command center, my Chicago residence went on the market several weeks ago for a tiny fraction of what Mr. Brooks laid out for his new shanty. Lovely place located in the heart of Chicago liberaldom, steps to the lake, public transit, good schools, great neighbors, fireplace, flooded with light, deeded/gated parking, awesome kitchen, decadent master bathroom, etc.)
