Many questions: How can anyone eat an entire meal with only one hand? So, David, was the guy right or left handed? Which side were you sitting on? Also, must had been a very cozy table, with chairs rather close together. Or did the guy have really long arms?

Did David Brooks just out himself?

If he didn’t want the attention, he should have said something discretely to the man who was sitting close enough to place his hand inside his thigh – “the whole time.”

Brooks is pathetic because he implies the attention and contact was unwanted, didn’t say anything to the Congressmen and still, to the this day, conceals the Congressman’s identity. It’s this kind of secrecy that abets more episodes. Brooks is pathetic.

At some level, this story doesn’t make any sense, Why would he sit there and tolerate it? Do you think David Brooks made it all up?
