Epstein, Schmepstein: David Brooks Would Like Everyone To Shut Up About The Epstein Files

If, like me, to make ends meet, you've had to severely economize by letting your subscription to "Tufthunters and Toffs Quarterly" lapse, you might have missed this press release from June, 2025:

WASHINGTON — In advance of Independence Day, a group of prominent Americans, led by former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers and New York Times columnist David Brooks, is coming together to provide advice and recommendations about how schools and colleges can best transmit American traditions and civic ideals to the next generation.

The group is seeking to address four related challenges:

• Social cohesion is eroding on both sides of the political spectrum. Right-wing white nationalists see some citizens as more American than others, while left-wing race essentialists undermine what we have in common as Americans...

This is perfection.  If you had paid me to write a press release about how the old, 1990s triangulation politics/"Third Way" plague ship was still afloat, still flush with unlimited funds, and still pressing its wingtips on the throat of American politics, I could not have done a better job.  

But if, like me, you still have an internet connection where you can get news -- or at least headlines -- for free, I'll bet you didn't miss headlines like these.

From The Washington Post:

After decades of power, Washington shuns Larry Summers over Epstein ties

From the Financial Times:

Lawrence Summers’ extraordinary fall from grace

From NBC:

Larry Summers' years of emails with Jeffrey Epstein roil Harvard

Harvard faculty members and students expressed unease with the correspondence between Summers and Epstein included in the House’s recent document release.

From Politico:

Larry Summers steps down from OpenAI

Politico again:

How Could Larry Summers Be So Stupid?

From Harvard Magazine:

Summers Takes Leave Amid Harvard Probe

From David Brooks' former employer, the Wall Street Journal.

How Larry Summers’s Power Delayed the Reckoning Over His Epstein Ties

The former Treasury secretary and Harvard president’s enormous network and clout kept him immune from past Jeffrey Epstein revelations. But this time was just too much.

From the Guardian, regarding David Brooks' current employer:

New York Times cuts ties with Larry Summers over Epstein emails

Publication said it will not renew former treasury secretary’s contract in latest fallout after release of emails 

And just yesterday, in the very same paper where David Brooks works:

Lawrence Summers Came Back From Scandals. Will Epstein Emails Prevent That?

The former Harvard president has come back from controversy before, but revelations in new Epstein emails are threatening his omnipresence in public life.

First of all, New York Times...

And second, am I now going to imply that just because Larry Summers' ties to Jeffrey Epstein were unceremoniously and humiliatingly dumped into public view in November of 2025, that this is the reason why his friend David Brooks (with whom he was very reverentially conjoined in June of 2025) has, just days later, fled any and all discussion of the Epstein Files like a scalded dog?

David Brooks, November 21, 2025:

The Epstein Story? Count Me Out.

Of course not.  I would never suggest that merely because of this one incident.

I would, however, point out that, among the most influential members of the media elite, there has been no more loyal handmaiden to America's most pampered and privileged oligarchs and power-brokers than David Brooks.  

Perhaps you remember when billionaire despot statue aficionado Harlan Crow got publicly crosswise  over one of his minor purchases -- Supreme Court associate justice Clarence Thomas -- it was David Brooks who rose unhesitatingly to Crow's defense, telling the PBS News Hour audience:

Brooks:  Yes, first, I should say I have been friends with Harlan Crow for about 20 years. I find him a wonderful man. He's hosted me at his home in Dallas and in New York. So, reader — viewers should know that that's my connection to Harlan.

And so that's disclosure. And that's what I wish Clarence Thomas had done in this case.

I think viewers are smart enough to know. I'm probably biased in Harlan. I really like Harlan. I think he's a wonderful guy. 

Or perhaps you remember David Brooks' Sad Bastard Divorcé years, during which Mr. "Marriage Is The Bedrock of Civilization" never told anyone he was dumping/had dumped his wife, and during which he wrote barely-sublimated Sad Bastard columns about being alone in hotels ... about working so fucking hard to make you happy, Sarah, and give you everything you ever wanted ... about buying a home that led your humble scrivener to interpret it thusly: "Something tells me that Mr. David Brooks' J-Date profile -- "Most Ubiquitous Conservative Public Intellectual in America seeks 30-something exotic dancer who is into Burke, TED talks, humility and long, pointless walks right down the middle of everything" -- might not be yielding the kind of results the brochures had promised, and that he has now moved down-market to a more realistic price range."

Or perhaps you remember when lonely divorcé David Brooks went full Humbert-Humbert staring up at a dance studio full of athletic young women.  

Or perhaps you remember that during the middle of his Sad Bastard Era, perhaps to perk up their most well-known op-ed spinner of oligarch-friendly fairy tales, someone at the Times thought it would be an excellent idea to send Brooks on an all-expenses-paid $120,000 vacation so he could [checks notes] report back on what rich people do on vacation.  

The unmistakable through line of David Brooks' career is that he likes rich and powerful people.  He likes them a lot and has always aspired to be one of them.  He likes to rub elbows with them, glean exciting, insider rich-person insights from them, serve on boards with them and generally get invited past the velvet rope used to keep the hoi polloi out, and participate in rich-person stuff with them. 

And all of that and more has only been possible because David Brooks was given a column in The New York Times in which he has spent decades writing flattering fairy tales about America as his rich patrons wish it to be, rather than America as it actually is.  Which is why David Brooks has been so consistently and wildly wrong about almost everything.  And yet it clearly doesn't matter to the Sulzberger family how frequently or spectacularly Brooks shit the op-ed bed because of, well, things like this.  

Brooks:  Yes, first, I should say I have been friends with Harlan Crow for about 20 years. I find him a wonderful man. He's hosted me at his home in Dallas and in New York. So, reader — viewers should know that that's my connection to Harlan.

And so, once again, I would never suggest that merely because Lawrence Summers has bellyflopped onto the hard pavement of the Epstein scandal, his friend David Brooks now dismisses the whole thing as old news so let's just move along here people!

Never before have I been so uncertain about the future. Think of all the giant issues that confront us: artificial intelligence, potential financial bubbles, the decline of democracy, the rise of global authoritarianism, the collapse of reading scores and general literacy, China’s sudden scientific and technological dominance, Russian advances in Ukraine. … I could go on and on. So what has America’s political class decided to obsess about over the last several months?

Jeffrey Epstein.

This is a guy who has been dead for six years and who last was in touch with Donald Trump 21 years ago, Trump has said.

Although I might be forgiven if I notice that the fact that his friend is teetering up on the windy gibbet of professional, personal and legal catastrophe just happens to coincide with Brooks hand-having the entire Epstein File scandal away as just QAnon madness, which has "taken over America" and no one except David Brooks is immune:

But the most important reason the Epstein story tops our national agenda is that the QAnon mentality has taken over America. The QAnon mentality is based on the assumption that the American elite is totally evil and that American institutions are totally corrupt. 

I also cannot ignore the fact that Brooks is clearly so desperate to shut this all down that he hauls out his oldest, most despicable and most toxic responsibility dispersion weapon -- his Both Sides Do It razor-in-the-apple -- and lobs it into the middle of this grotesque and growing scandal:

I can kind of understand why Machiavellian Republicans would spew conspiracy theories. Those theories stoke cynicism, which serves Republican ends: The government can never be trusted; politicians are all liars. Cynicism causes people to check out of politics. Or, to be more precise, it causes them to care only about politics when they can destroy something. As The Economist noted in an editorial in 2019, “Cynical politicians denigrate institutions, then vandalize them.” It’s a straight line from Candace Owens to Russell Vought.

What I don’t understand is why some Democrats are hopping on this bandwagon. They may believe that the Epstein file release will somehow hurt Trump. But they are undermining public trust and sowing public cynicism in ways that make the entire progressive project impossible. They are contributing to a public atmosphere in which right-wing populism naturally thrives.

If I thought for one minute that Brooks' idiotic opinion grew out of infantile naivete and cluelessness, I'd direct him to any of the many, many times we have explained the difference between the thousands of everyday, ludicrous, quotidian lies he spews to keep the media off balance and his meathead MAGA base on-side, and a load-bearing lie upon which the entire structure and all the other lies depend.

For example, "Both Sides Do It" is the load-bearing lie that props up David Brooks' career.  With it, and with an army of fellow media travelers to evangelize it, his position at the top of the legacy media shitpile is unassailable.  But without it, he is nothing, he has nothing, and it all falls apart because it eliminates the last refuge of the worst people.  Which is why, for 21 years on this blog, and for going on 16 years on our Professional Left podcast, I have said over and over again, if you take out the Both Sides Do It Center, the Right will fall.  

Similarly, the QAnon Epstein Files lie is perhaps the most critical of the load-bearing lies propping up the Trump administration.  Releasing the files and bringing a global pedophile network to book wasn't just another empty promise Trump made to stupid people to get their votes, and which those stupid people are willing to forget the next day.  

The load-bearing lie of QAnon is that Donald Trump – the Dear Leader – has been sent by God to clean up this wicked world.  Which is why most of them go right on believing him no matter what, and releasing the Epstein Files was a sacred vow.  These are the lies that the base is most deeply invested in defending.  

Brooks should understand this dynamic extremely well, because during the reign of George W. Bush, Brooks was in the business of selling just such load-bearing lies to the rubes.  Bush was sold to the base as a Man of Faith and Business, whose sound judgment could be trusted because he was surrounded by foreign and domestic policy experts.

Brooks also knows damn well what happens when load-bearing lies fail.   With Bush, those lies were destroyed by Iraq, Katrina, Terri Schiavo and the collapse of the global economy.  Yes, there were many, many other lies, but in the decades since, when a Democratic president is having some trouble, no one asks, “Is this Obama’s Harriet Miers?”  They all ask, “Is this Obama’s Katrina”.  Those four, major, public catastrophes blew every one of Bush’s load-bearing lies away.  

And today, savvy Democrats looking for a way to topple this mad tyrant and his violent, destructive fascist regime aren't mindlessly "hopping on this bandwagon".  They recognize the exposed jugular of a load-bearing lie trembling near the point of an Iraq-level collapse when they see one, and they are going straight at it.  

The rest of Brooks' column -- his usual buffoonish misdiagnosis of the state of American politics and his role-playing as his idea of a what a sober, sensible Democrat from an imaginary Democratic Party who lives in an imaginary America which does not exist might say and do -- can all be ignored.  The answer to why this particular asinine column exists is not to be found there: it's just pantomime for the wealthy, clueless mopes who still take David Brooks seriously.

It seems to me that the reason this "Everyone Should Shut Up About The Epstein Files Right Now!" column exists is fairly simple.  David Brooks has spent his entire adult life using every lever anyone would give him to ingratiate himself to America's wealthy and powerful elite.  Entangling himself in their causes, interests and amusements.  And, like Larry Summers, there is a very good chance that the names many of David Brooks' patrons and benefactors are going to find their way into the very long string of very lurid, Epstein-related headlines over the next couple of years. Which, for Brooks could be incredibly embarrassing.

I also cannot completely rid myself of the idea that, for several years, Brooks was a wealthy,  middle-aged divorcé, who was anxious to keep his divorce on the downlow, but who was also lonely, influential, depressed, and who had many very wealthy friends who might have thought that what he really needed was to get his ashes hauled (as the kids say) via a discreet, professional procurer to the rich and powerful that some of them, like Larry Summers, had on speed dial.

More Thrilling Tales of Both Sides Do It: Somehow David Brooks Returned

The Faith and Humility Reporter for the Acela Daily Pantograph has returned with a startling proposition.  David Brooks -- who discovered Christianity five minutes ago and very evidently doesn't understand it at all -- claims he has the cure for Christian Nationalism.

Think I'm kidding?  Here's the headline:

How to Replace Christian Nationalism

Well, if nothing else, I'm sure Brooks will succeed in catching the attention of the Tiki torch, "Jews will not replace us", Nazis-in-Dockers mob.

As your humble scrivener wrote on this very blog not so long ago, whenever he publicly belly-flops into the empty swimming pool of his own boundless ignorance about how America lives and works and thinks and feels in the Land Beyond The Hudson, Mr. David Brooks of The New York Times frequently retreats to the one safe place where he can pontificate in galactically-sweeping language and no one will dare gainsay him.

The pulpit.

In the pulpit, Mr. Brooks is free to sermonize on the State of The Human Soul to his heart's content on the Sulzberger family's dime.  Which is nice work if you can get it.

This time, Mr. Brooks affects an understanding of the chaotic parade of American humanity so deep and so wise that he can not only diagnose how to undo Christian Nationalism, but explain exactly how and why the MAGA morons came to power here in the Land of the Free.

Well, more or less.

Here is the exact quote:

Somehow MAGA has swept in and made us a frightened nation, stagnant, callous and backward.

"Somehow"?!

Jesus, Mary, and Erwin Schrödinger, it would take a better mind than mine to calculate exactly how much of the inconvenient past Brooks casually obliterated with that word.  Acres?  Oceans?  

How many decades of Conservative propaganda -- to which Brooks eagerly contributed -- and how many decades of legacy media complicity -- to which Brooks still eagerly contributes -- did he just negate?  

How many elections did Brooks just annul? 

How much of America's long history of racism did Brooks just wish away with one, little word?

If you've followed Brooks' long career of getting everything wrong, you would understand why he has to seal the long and well documented trajectory of the GOP that led to Trump and MAGA in an oil drum and sink it deep, deep into the River Lethe.  Because the inconvenient history of his Republican Party and his Conservative movement are incompatible with the toxic scam Brooks has been successfully running for 30 years.  

As I have mentioned once or twice, while it is clear that the House of Sulzberger is going to go right on letting Brooks get away with murder on the op-ed page of The New York Times until he chooses to retire, for his brutal and ongoing mutilation of the past, at the very least the University of Chicago should revoke his B.A. in History.

Remember, this is the very same, willfully blind hack who casually dismissed racism as a motive for the Right's rabid, hysterical opposition to Barack Obama.   Who decided that there was no racism in the Fake Tea Party movement based literally on ... jogging past a small Tea Party rally once.  Who assured everyone in 2014 that his Republican Party had fully and finally "detoxified" itself and was looking ahead to a bright future, and assured everyone in 2016 that his party would obviously never nominate someone like Trump: that it was definitely gonna be Rubio!

And then there was Brooks' brief nonconfessional-confession tour, launched during the 2016 campaign, when his job was clearly on the chopping block because he had fucked up so consistently and so very, very publicly on the pages of The New York Times.  Here is a particularly illuminating snippet from Brooks on the still-defunct Charlie Rose Show in 2016:

Rose:  So you think you were wrong?  That you had somehow been on the Acela too much and had not done what?

Brooks:  As I say, I'm out in the country ... every week I'm somewhere ... but somehow I didn't see it coming.  I'm...I'm...I'm...I was not alone in that. A lot of us didn't see it coming.

Rose:  Oh I don't know anybody that saw it coming.

Brooks (smirking):  Yeah, I'm sure now there are people claiming they did but...um...

And right there you could see the  Beltway Common Wisdom being set in concrete.  Since no one saw this coming, everyone failed equally so no one is guilty.  No one is to blame.  And as long as we all agree to pretend that all the lowliest Liberal bloggers -- who had been warning about these conditions within the GOP for decades -- simply do not exist ... and so as long as Brooks promised to do a little painless penance -- to sojourn into the heart of American darkness and compare notes on Edmund Burke with shit-shovelers in Nebraska and pawn brokers in Kansas -- everything would be cool.  

Everyone could safely return to their default setting and no one would lose their job just because events had shown they never had the slightest fucking idea what they were talking about.  

So, back here in the Year of Our Lord, let's all gather 'round to bask in Brooks' next bit of Beltway folk wisdom.

I don’t think this alien cultural implant can last forever. 

The "alien culture implant[s]" Brooks is referring to here are MAGA and its Christian Nationalist core proving once again, that Brooks has no qualms about dismissing centuries of inconvenient history when that history conflicts with the fairy tales he is still selling to his readers.  In this case, the fairy tale is one of inevitable American spiritual progress that has only been momentarily sidetracked, but will resume once Real Murrica shrugs off these alien cultural implants. 

I don’t think this alien cultural implant can last forever. Eventually Americans, restless as any people on earth, will want to replace threat with hope and resume our national pilgrimage. When that cultural and spiritual shift occurs, a lot will change in our religious and political life.

So, according to Brooks, how exactly are we Americans supposed to Replace Christian Nationalism?

Well, since this is David Brooks' own idea, first he must run the entire, sprawling, messy canvas of American religious, spiritual and political life through -- no kidding -- his big, dumb, Both Sides Do It meatgrinder.  To fit inside Brooks' fairy tale, all of us in our millions must be reduced to two and only two sides, each equally flawed and misguided.

You think I'm kidding? 

Once you put people into categorical boxes, you are inviting them to see history as a zero-sum conflict between this group and that one. And sure enough, today we live in a political, cultural and religious war between two impoverished armies.

On the one side are the Christian nationalists, who practice a debauched form of their faith. Christian nationalism is particular rather than universal. It is about protecting “us” against “them” — the native versus the immigrant. It is about power more than love. It is about threat more than hope. It is rigid and pharisaical rather than personal and merciful.

On the other side are the exhausted remains of secular humanism. That humanism started out trying to liberate people from dogma, but it has produced societies in which people feel alienated, naked and alone. It has failed to formulate a shared moral order that might help people find meaning and solidarity in their lives. It is so enfeebled that it is being replaced by the religion of the phone — by shallow, technological modes of living.

As near as I can tell, David Brooks is actually contending that, somehow, bad polling questions (?!) have shunted all of us into one of these "two impoverished armies." 

This is followed by a hilariously awkward pivot from Brooks' ludicrously reductive assessment of the entire population of the United States ... to an unverifiable, anecdotal laundry list of what Brooks believes other people really, truly believe way down deep where only he can see.  And it's all based on this sentence here:

In my experience most believers...

This really is a museum-quality sample of everything wrong about Brooks.

His entire career has been a series of sweeping observations and predictions about politics, faith and culture virtually all of which have turned out to be laughable wrong...and which Brooks validated with his own, personal experiences and insider information, which have also turned out to be hilariously and unerringly wrong.  

 In fact, Brooks has been so consistently wrong about everything in exactly the same way over and over again, that I've often thought that descriptors like "hack", "goof" or "Sulzberger family houseplant" are insufficient.  So I've been fiddling with alternations .  None of them are entirely satisfactory, so I welcome any suggestions.

The Lay-Scholastic Pretension:   An intense episode of Aquinas-level bravado, typically triggered by reading a paragraph in a secondary commentary which under looming print deadline and immediately assuming one has unlocked the entire metaphysical universe.

The Ecclesial Overreach Principle: The belief that one’s private interpretation implicitly carries ecumenical authority, despite having no synod, council, bishop, or even small committee concurring.

The Magisterium of Me:  A potent affliction where a single individual speaks as though they are a church council, despite their only conciliar experience being an encounter with overpriced airport whiskey.

More Thrilling Tales of Both Sides Do It: One Hell of an Epitaph.

As you all know by now, the Both Sides Do It lie has been the legacy media's default setting for so long, and is now, for millions of Americans, so automatic that it has become what psychiatrist and author Robert Jay Lifton called a “thought-terminating cliché".   Or what Orwell termed "crimestop":  the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought.

When the conversation veers anywhere near holding Republicans solely responsible for the evil that they do, these crimestop conditioned citizens have been trained to immediately chuck a "Both Sides Do It" flashbang into the mix and then scurry away to safety. 

Even when the stakes are life-and-death, and even when the irrefutable proof of who is right and who is wrong is literally at every citizen's fingertips, for far too many Americans the thought of allocating blame where it belongs is so terrifying that these stubbornly sleepy citizens would rather dream reassuringly about "politicians in Washington" or "both sides of the aisle" than wake to find that the Republican party is a mob of violent bigots and imbeciles, fueled by lurid, home-grown fascist propaganda masquerading as news, and ruled by monsters and demagogues. 

And even at the cost of our democracy, the legacy media would rather go right on feeding them the narcotic lie that keeps them docile and somnolent than risk the wrath of the MAGA mob and the loss of revenue that would surely accompany telling the masses the simple, ugly truth.

Which brings us to this excerpt from a November 14, 2025 Vox article entitled "Meet the newly uninsured --  Millions of Americans will soon go without insurance. We spoke with some of them."

It's the story of "Steve", a retiree. who had insurance through his wife's job.  But then the company shut down her division, so she decided to retire, and off they went to the exchange to shop for new coverage.

The story itself is appalling, and is being felt, with minor variations, by millions of American families including ours.

But when you hit that last sentence, remember that "Steve" is saying this in the Fall of 2025, living in the rubble of a full decade of felonies, conspiracy mongering, corruption, lying, bigotry, treason, insurrection, fascism and assorted other catastrophes that a Trump-led Republican party has left in its wake.  

Up until last year, his family of three was covered by his wife’s insurance, provided by the large corporation for which she worked. It was $500 a month with a low deductible. But then, the company shut down her division, she decided to retire, and the couple and their son enrolled in the same plan on the state’s ACA marketplaces.

They couldn’t get such a great deal, but they found something usable: about $1,000 per month — pricey, but they were able to keep all of their doctors, who were in network. Their deductible was about $4,600.

But next year, their current plan would cost $2,700 every month to keep, and their deductible would be higher — up to $5,300. They could consider dropping their college-aged son off the plan, but he would struggle to afford health insurance on his own, and it would only save his parents $300 a month.

Steven says he feels trapped. Given their age, he and his wife don’t feel they can afford to go without insurance. But they’re now going to have to pull money out of their retirement accounts to cover the cost of their health plan.

“We cannot wing it and not have health insurance,” Steven said. “I’m spending a lot of money that I really do not have on health care.”

He’s done the math. If he kept his same plan, paid all of the premiums, and paid the maximum out-of-pocket costs, he could spend $50,000 on health care out of pocket — even with a health insurance plan.

“It kinda seems like the two political parties want to be right and not care about people,” he told me.

To put this in medical terms that maybe "Steve" can understand, his Both Siderism is symptomatic of a media-made pandemic which has become a chronic, long-term public health crisis and which may ultimately prove to be fatal.   

And if there is any hope for "Steve" to learn the truth about his condition, he'll need to seek out experts who are  way, way "out of network".

Thrilling Tales of Both Sides Do It: Post-Trump Beltway Duolingo Courses Now Accepting New Students

Great day in the morning, Madge has finally learned the Magic Words.

What are the Magic Words, you ask?  Are they, as your mother taught you, "please" and "thank you"?

C'mon, get with it grandpa.  Those days are dead and gone.  And since you haven't been paying attention since the days of Romper Rooms and Captain Kangaroo, let me hip you to the fact that the "new" magic words are at least 30 years old.  

Here's a excerpt from Marjorie Taylor Green's Friday night Tweet.  See if you can spot the real Magic Words:

I never thought that fighting to release the Epstein files, defending women who were victims of rape, and fighting to expose the web of rich powerful elites would have caused this, but here we are.

And it truly speaks for itself.

There needs to be a new way forward.

The toxic political industrial complex thrives on ripping us all apart but never delivers anything good for the American people, whom I love.

The PIC tells us to hate each other, fundraises off why we have to hate each other, and pits Americans against each other to the point of violence and nearing civil war.

This is all so wrong.

We can have our own differences and differing opinions but we can still love and respect one another.

We have far more in common than we have apart.

I believe in the American people more than I believe in any leader or political party and the American people deserve so much better than how they have been treated by both sides of the aisle...

7.1 million views as of this morning.  Hundreds howler MAGA howler monkeys shrieking various versions of ,"Nobody cares about the Epstein files!  How dare you question the Dear Leader! Burn in Hell bad lady!"  

None of it matters.

Madge is a creature of low cunning and ruthless survival instincts, so if she is learning how to speak pidgin Beltway -- 

--, framing her slow motion egress from Il Douche's pandemonium bandwagon as an act of high principle, and showing up on places like The View to claim she was the victim, and coronate herself into the ranks of the media's Serious Women with Powerful Voices -- 

...“You’ve broken from the Republican Party on a number of issues, including, besides the shutdown, the war in Gaza, tariffs, Trump’s desire to expand AI, foreign aid,” Hostin said. “But you’ve also had the clips highlighting the public, very public spats that you’ve had with your colleagues, where your behavior, some say, is just unbecoming for a congresswoman. And you’re promoting conspiracy theories like QAnon in the past. But you seem to have grown past that…why the change? Why the evolution?”

“Maybe you should become a Democrat, Marjorie,” Joy Behar added, complimenting Greene’s comprehensible explanations for her positions, many of which earned her applause from the show’s anti-MAGA studio audience.

“You’re so right, it’s like you’re on the left now,” Hostin also told Green.

“I’m not on the left,” she told the View hosts, “I haven’t changed,” though she admitted of QAnon, “I was a victim, just like you were, of social media lies and stuff you read on social media.”

Greene cemented the friendly interview when she concluded, “I believe that people with powerful voices, like myself and like you, and especially women to women, we need to pave a new path.”...

-- you can bet she can practically smell the sheer cliff's edge off of which that bandwagon is about to plunge.
