A Man of the Hoi Polloi

So now the President is to become a populist. This law lecturer, of Punaho, Columbia, Harvard and Chicago. This denizen of Hyde Park. He's going to put down his Pinot Noir and hoist a boilermaker. He's changing from Armani suits to Ralph Lauren dungarees.

A pity he's spent the last two years mocking truck drivers and as someone else said: "boom stick owners who believe in a sky God".

Tom Bevan says this is his "Cross of Arugula"
