The Wall Street Journal has figured out that many of DC’s most down-homiest bloggers are actually quite “elite” in the way they present themselves. Elite, as in exclusive, snotty and just as cliquey as any high school you ever attended? Yeah, that pretty much sums up our experiences with them. Still, they wear jeans to work, live in cramped group houses, and are trying to help “young writers overcome the ‘Ivy League cabal’ that dominated Washington political writing.” (Yet Matthew Yglesias, one of the profiled bloggers, went to Harvard.) Plus, we hear that if you have sex with one of them, a little part of you becomes elite, too. At least until you shower!
